lyrics

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go,
Back to Third Ward
You know I love you so,
Baby, please don't go.

You got me way down here
You got me way down here
Before I be your dog,
Gon make you walk the log,
Now, Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go

Now don't you call my name,
Now don't you call my name,
You got me way down here,
Wearin' ball and chain,
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go.

I bet your man done gone,
I bet your man done gone,
He left the town for me,
Had his shackles on,
Baby, please don't go,
Baby, please don't go.

Now, turn your lamp down low,
Turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long,
Baby, please don't go,
Back to Third Ward,
Baby, please don't go
