<br />

Now, baby please don't go<br />

Now, baby please don't go home<br />

Baby, please don't go<br />

Back to New Orleans<br />

And get your cold ice cream<br />

<br />

I b'lieve that a man done gone<br />

I b'lieve that a man done gone<br />

I b'lieve that a man done gone<br />

To the county farm<br />

Now, with his long chain on<br />

<br />

Turn your lamp down low<br />

You turn your lamp down low<br />

Turn your lamp down low<br />

I cried all night long<br />

Now, baby please don't go<br />

<br />

I begged you night befo'<br />

I begged you night befo'<br />

Begged you night befo'<br />

Turn your lamp down low<br />

Now, baby please don't go<br />

<br />

I b'lieve my baby done lied<br />

I b'lieve my baby done lied<br />

I b'lieve my baby she lied<br />

Says she didn't have a man<br />

Now, while I had my time<br />

<br />

'Fore I'd be yo' dog<br />

'Play!'<br />

I swore I'd leave your do'<br />

'Fore I'd be yo' dog<br />

I'd pack my trunk this mo'nin, baby<br />

Go back to Rolling Fork, umm<br />

<br />

I b'lieve I'll leave, here<br />

I b'lieve I'll leave you here<br />

I b'lieve I'll leaves you here<br />

'Cause you got me way up here<br />

An you don't feel my care<br />

<br />

Now, baby please don't go<br />

Oh baby, please don't go, umm <br />

Now, baby please don't go<br />

Back to New Orleans<br />

Even though I love you so<br />

<br />

I b'lieve you tryin' just leave me here<br />

Why leave yo' daddy, here?<br />

Why leave yo' daddy, here?<br />

You got me way down here<br />

An you don't feel my care.<br />

<br />
