Baby Please Don't Go
Ted Nugent · Motor City Mayhem: 6,000th Concert [2009]
Baby please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby please don't go
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone down the county farm
He got the shackles on
Baby please don't go
Don't leave me
I'll be a dog
I'll be a dog
I'll be a dog kiss ya way down here
When you walk along
Baby please don't go
