Big Joe Williams
Am, D, Dm, F, G, Gm
Now, baby, please don't go Now, baby, please don't go
Oh, baby, please don't go back to New Orleans and get your collared green
Believe the men done gone Believe the men done gone
Believe the man done gone to the country farm to get the big chain on
Turn your lamp down low, turn your lamp down low, turn your lamp down low
I cried all night long, now baby please don't go
I begged and asked before, I begged and asked before, I begged and asked before,
Turn your laugh down low, baby, please don't go.
Before I be your dog, after I be your dog,
I thought I'd be a dog, I packed a trunk this mornin' in a roll-out farm
I believe I'm leavin', I'm leavin' I believe I'm leavin' 'cause you got me whippin'
and you don't feed my kid
Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go
Oh, baby, please don't go back to New Orleans, you know I love you so
I'll be crying, sleeping out
Don't leave my daddy here
Don't leave your daddy here, you got me without him and he don't feed my soul
