please don't go
Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
You brought me way down here
'bout to Rolling Forks, you treat me like a dog
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, back the New Orleans
I beg you all night long
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone
You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
You know your man down gone
To the country farm, with all the shackles on
In this song, Smith sings a plea to his lover to stay with him and not leave him, specifically not to go to New Orleans. He emphasizes his love for the person, expressing how much they mean to him. The repetition of the phrase "Baby, please don't go" highlights his desperation and desire to keep them by his side.
Smith uses the metaphor of being a dog to describe his willingness to do anything for his lover. He would rather be submissive and let them walk alone than lose them. This metaphor conveys his loyalty and devotion to the relationship.
The line "Turn your lamp down low" suggests a sense of intimacy and setting the mood for a passionate night together. Smith is begging for the person to stay with him throughout the night and not leave. He wants to continue their connection and doesn't want them to go away.
The lyrics also indicate that the lover in question brought him to a different place, and he feels mistreated and taken for granted. The reference to Rolling Forks, a location, adds to the context of the song. Smith feels as though he has been treated like a dog in this place, possibly referring to feeling undervalued or disrespected.
In the last verse, Smith once again pleads with his lover not to go back to New Orleans. He reiterates his desperation and expresses his love by begging all night long. The repetition of this plea emphasizes his fear of losing them.
The final lines suggest that the person's partner has already left them, which is conveyed through the phrase "You know your man down gone." Smith's lover has gone to a country farm, possibly indicating a new chapter or a different lifestyle altogether. The mention of shackles suggests a feeling of being trapped or restricted in this new situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Please Don't Go" portray a lover's desperate plea to keep their partner from leaving and the feeling of being devalued and mistreated in a particular location.

My love, I sincerely request that you do not leave
Baby, please don't go, down to New Orleans
Darling, I implore you not to travel to New Orleans
You know I love you so
You are aware of the deep affection I have for you
Before I be your dog
Rather than becoming subservient to you
I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone
I prefer to bring you to unfamiliar surroundings and abandon you to solitude
Turn your lamp down low
Please dim the brightness of your light
I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go
Throughout the entire night, I plead with you to stay, my love
You brought me way down here
You led me to this distant location
'bout to Rolling Forks, you treat me like a dog
Close to Rolling Forks, your treatment of me resembles that of a dog
Baby, please don't go, back the New Orleans
Sweetheart, I implore you not to return to New Orleans
Before I be your dog
Instead of being submissive to you
You know your man down gone
You are aware that your partner has departed
To the country farm, with all the shackles on
To a rural farm, where I am figuratively enslaved

@dotfern3010
Great rendition... Love it ! ❤
@alg219
They are and always will be a blues band at heart. Best band ever.
@martingerner3543
AC/DC ARE THE BEST!
@WhereThereDude
@@martingerner3543 Aerosmith have more music variety in 5 songs than AC DC in all their discography...
@1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh
While that's your opinion why would you even make such a ludicrous comparison? Two totally different bands, styles, and sounds.
@B_D_99
Martin Gerner Rocks true
@slam8368
Nope. They were blues band a hundred years ago.
@marianagrisales2877
Hay no, no me canso de ver este canción en concierto como empieza con ese gritico, super y la armónica y como va bajando la voz, no sencillamente los amo nada que hacer el señor tyler el mejor.
@ryanhauser3014
This is one of my favorite albums from them, Steven's voice was meant for this.
