LYRICS
Big Joe Williams
Baby Please Don't 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.
Baby your mind done gone,
Well your mind done gone,
Well your mind done gone,
Left the county farm,
You had the shackles on.
Baby please don't go.
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
To git you way down here,
I 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,
You know I love you so.
Baby please don't go.
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
Git you way down here,
Make you walk the log.
Baby please don't go.
'now how I feel right now,
My baby leavin',
On that midnight train,
And I'm cryin'.
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.
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
For be a dog,
To git you way down here.
I make you walk the log.
Baby please don't go, yeah.

Jinx blues
written by: Big Joe Williams
Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed
Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed
Well, didn't have nobody now, woman, nowhere to lay my achin' head
Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad
Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad
Well, then it must not aĠ been them low-down jinx I had.
If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand,
don't you hear me talkin',
If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand.
Had the jinx so bad, till my woman's she's gone away with another man
Uh-uh, cryin' mercy, now, you don't know what mercy mean.
Well, everybody cryin' mercy, don't know what mercy mean.
It's the meanest jinx, baby, I want you to, please, come back to me.
(Spoken): 'Cause the jinx might leave you. The hoodoo jinx in my bed.
