Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Now baby, please don't go
Now baby, please don't go
Now baby, please don't go, back to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby please don't go

[Verse 1]
I'll be, your man done gone
I'll be, your man done gone
He left the town before me, had his shackles on
Now baby, please don't go

[Verse 2]
Now don't you call my name
Now don't you call my name
You got me way down here, wearing that ball and chain
Now baby, please don't go

[Verse 3]
Now turn your lamp down low
Now turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long
Now baby, please don't go, back to New Orleans
