Baby, please don't go.  Baby, please don't go.

G                                                      D7       G

Baby, please don't go back to New Orleans, you know it hurts me so.

 

Babe, I'm way down here, you know I'm way down here.

Babe, I'm way down here in a rollin' fog, baby, please don't go.

 

Babe, I'm way down here, you know I'm way down here.

Babe, I'm way down here on old Parchman Farm, baby, please don't go.

 

Baby, please don't go.  Baby, please don't go,

Baby, please don't go and leave me here, you know it's cold down here.

 

You know it's cold down here.  Babe, it's cold down here.

You know it's cold down here on old Parchman Farm, baby, please don't go.

 

I'm half dead down here.  I'm half dead down here,

I'm half dead down here on old Parchman Farm, baby, please don't go.
