Baby please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so,
Baby please don't go.
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard at the County Farm
With your shackles on
Baby please don't go"¦
Gonna be a doll
Gonna be a doll
Gonna be a doll to get your way down here
To make you walk along,
Baby please don't go.
Don't you go.
Don't you go"¦
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,
Baby please don't go.
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard?
Why don't you mind that guard at the County Farm
With your shackles on,
Baby please don't go.
Don't you go"¦
Don't you go"¦
