Big Joe Williams - Baby, Please Don't Go

Now baby, please don’ t go,
Now baby please don’t go.
Baby, please don’t go back to New Orleans
An’ get your cold ice cream

I believe it - a man done gone,
I believe it - a man done gone.
I believe it - 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 before,
I begged you night before.
Begged you night before, turn your lamp down low,
Now baby, please don’t go

I believe my baby’s done lyin’,
I believe my baby’ s done lyin’.
I believe my baby she’s lyin’ says she didn’t have a man,
Now while I had my time

Fo’ I be your dog, [ Spoken: “Play it”.]
Ah! fo’ I be your dog.
Fo’ I be your dog, I’d pack my trunk this mornin’, baby,
Go back to rollin’ fog

I believe I’ll leave here,
I believe I’ll leave you here.
I believe I’ll leave you here, ‘cos 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.
Ah! Baby, please don’t go, back to New Orleans,
You know I love you so

I believe you’re tryin’ to leave me here,
Try to leave your daddy, here.
Try to leave your daddy, here, you got me way down here
An’ you don’ t feel my care
