Song Lyrics

Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Down to New Orleans
You know I love you so,
Baby please don't go.

Baby your mind done gone,
Well your mind done gone,
Well your mind done gone,
Left the county farm,
You had the shackles on.
Baby please don't go.

For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
To git you way down here,
I make you walk the log.
Baby please don't go.

Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Down to New Orleans,
You know I love you so.
Baby please don't go.

For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
Git you way down here,
Make you walk the log.
Baby please don't go.

'now how I feel right now,
My baby leavin',
On that midnight train,
And I'm cryin'.

Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Baby please don't go,
Down to New Orleans,
You know I love you so.
Baby please don't go.

For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
To git you way down here.
I make you walk the log.
Baby please don't go, yeah.

Awright
