Back to New Orleans Songtext

von Lightnin' Hopkins

Now baby please don't go
Now baby please don't go
Now baby please don't go back to New Orleans
You know I love you so baby please
Don't go baby! If you go take me with you

You got me way down here
You got me way down here
Now 'fore I be your dog I'll make you walk along
Now baby please don't go baby please don't go
No don't go sugar!
If you just got to go take me with you

Now don't you call my name
Now don't you call my name
You got me way down here wearin' the ball and chain
Now baby please don't go baby please

I believe your man is gone
I believe your man is gone
He left the country farm he had his shackles on
Now baby please don't go baby please
No, I don't believe she's gone

Play a while!

Now baby please don't go
Now baby please don't go
Now baby please don't go back to New Orleans
You know I love you so baby please

No don't go baby, if you go just take me with you.
