Now, baby please don’t go

Now, baby please don’t go home

Baby, please don’t go

Back to New Orleans

And get your cold ice cream

I b’lieve that a man done gone

I b’lieve that a man done gone

I b’lieve that a man done gone

To the county farm

Now, with his 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 night befo'

I begged you night befo'

Begged you night befo'

Turn your lamp down low

Now, baby please don’t go

I b’lieve my baby done lied

I b’lieve my baby done lied

I b’lieve my baby she lied

Says she didn’t have a man

Now, while I had my time

'Fore I’d be yo' dog

'Play!'

I swore I’d leave your do'

'Fore I’d be yo' dog

I’d pack my trunk this mo’nin, baby

Go back to Rolling Fork, umm

I b’lieve I’ll leave, here

I b’lieve I’ll leave you here

I b’lieve I’ll leaves you here

'Cause you got me way up here

An you don’t feel my care

Now, baby please don’t go

Oh baby, please don’t go, umm

Now, baby please don’t go

Back to New Orleans

Even though I love you so

I b’lieve you tryin' just leave me here

Why leave yo' daddy, here?

Why leave yo' daddy, here?

You got me way down here

An you don’t feel my care.
