Baby Please Don't Go

Baby, please don't go

Baby, please don't go

A'baby, please don't go down to New Orleans

I love you so

Baby, please don't go

Well your man done gone down the county farm

He had shackles on

Baby, please don't go

Baby, please don't go, yeah



Hit me



This song is by Big Joe Williams

From down in Crawford, Mississippi

Lord Got he must've sold a million

Now got to meet him one time

About a year before he died, yeah



I was standing in the Mississippi

Sun was shinin' down on me

Waitin' for him to arrive

Directly after a while, my eyes could clearly see

Big Joe behind the wheel of a Plymouth Fury 3

I was makin' up the driveway looking at me

I knew pretty soon we'd be keeping company



I wanted to talk to him, yeah

I got the chance and I said

I said well, get ready

"Hey, Big Joe, hey, Big Joe, hey, Big Joe, hey, Big Joe

What are your favorite songs you ever recorded?

Your favorite songs you ever recorded?

Your favorite songs you ever recorded?

Your favorite songs you ever recorded?"

And he said, "Baby, Please don't go"

Highway 49, people still love that"

I said, "Didn't Howling Wolf, do Highway 49?"

Big Joe said, "Huh! He tried"



Before I'll be your dog

Before I'll be your dog, woof

Before I'll be your dog, I'll get you way down here

I'll make you walk the log

Baby, please don't go



Baby, please don't go

Baby, please don't go

Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans

I love you so

Baby, please don't go
