(As performed my Muddy Waters)

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Down to New Orleans
You know I love you so

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here
And let you walk alone

Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
And I beg you all night long
Baby, please don't go

You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
'Bout to Rolling Forks
You treat me like a dog

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Back to New Orleans
I beg you all night long

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way out here
And let you walk alone

You know your man done gone
You know your man done gone
You know your man done gone
Down the country farm
With all the shackles on.
