Baby, Please Don’t Go Lyrics
Now baby please don't go
Now baby please don't go
Baby please don't go, back to New Orleans
And get your collard greens
I believe that the man done gone

Now with a long chain on
Turn your lamp down low
You turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low, I cried all night long
Now baby please don't go
I begged you nice before
I begged you nice before
Begged you nice before, turn your lamp down low
Now, baby please don't go
I believe my baby done lied
I believe my baby done lied
I believe my baby she lied, that she didn't have a man
Now, well I had my turn
Before I be your dog
Afore I be your dog

I believe I leaving him

Now, baby please don't go
Oh, baby please don't go!
Now, baby please don't go, back to New Orleans
You know I love you so
I'll been a'crying sleeping house
Don' leave your daddy here
Don' leave your daddy here, you got me without him
And he don't feed my...
