Baby, Please Don't Go - Lightnin' Hopkins

"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
And get your cold ice cream.

I've b'lieve that a man done gone
I've b'lieve that a man done gone
I've 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 turn low
Turn your lamp down low
I cried all night long
Now, baby please don't go.

I beg you night befo'
I beg you night befo'
Beg you night befo'
Turn your lamp down low
Now, baby, please don't go.

I b'lieve my baby done lie
I b'lieve my baby done lie
I b'lieve my baby --- lie
Says she didn't have a man
Now, while I had my time.

'Fore I'd be yo' dog
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 Rollin' Fork, uhm.

I b'lieve I'll leave, here
I b'lieve I'll leave you here
I b'lieve I'll leave 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 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
