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
