"Turn The Lamps Down Low" lyrics

Baby, please don't go
Honey, please don't go
Baby, please don't go back to New Orleans 'cause I love you so

Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Honey, please don't go back to New Orleans 'cause I love you so
Play me some blues, now

Hmm, yeah

You know you're mad that I'm gone
Yes, you're mad that I'm gone
You're mad I'm gone to the county farm, I got the shackles on

Baby, please don't go
Honey, please don't go
Baby, please don't go back to New Orleans 'cause I love you so

Yeah

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Why don't you call my name?
Why don't you call my name?
They got me way down here wearing this ball and chain
Why don't you call my name?

Baby, please don't go
Turn your lamp down low
Honey, please don't go back to New Orleans 'cause I love you so
Play me a little more blues, now

Uh
