Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go back to New Orleans
Because I love you so
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low, my heart is beating so
So baby please don't go
Made me weep and moan
You made me weep and moan
You made me weep and moan, don't leave me all alone
Baby please don't go
You got me way down here
You got me way down here
You got me way down here, you didn't shed a tear
Oh baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
