Blue Song

Baby, please don’t go

(original by Muddy Waters)

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to Shalimar
You know I love you so.

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Let’s once again make love.

Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
So I can easily stick the knife in your throat.

You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
And now you treat me like nothing but a “third beer”.

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to Shalimar
or I will get a heart attack.

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Let’s once again make love.

I know you’re gone away
I know you’re gone away
I know you’re gone away
To the country farm, where your past and future lay.
