Big Joe Williams Baby Please Don't Go lyrics

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 believe that a man done gone
I believe that a man done gone
I believe 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 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 done lied
I believe my baby done lied
I believe, 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 morning, baby
Go back to Rolling Fork

I believe I'll leave, here
I believe I'll leave you here
I believe 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
Now, baby please don't go
Back to New Orleans
Even though I love you so

I believe you trying just leave me here
Why leave your daddy, here?
Why leave your daddy, here?
You got me way down here
And you don't feel my care
