Don't leave
the hi-strung ramblers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't leave me, baby, please don't go
Please don't leave me baby, please don't go
Well, if you go 'way and leave me, dear you're gonna hurt me so
Yes I love you baby, gonna tell all the world I do
Yes I love you baby, gonna tell all the world I do
Well, if you go 'way and leave me, don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The Hi-Strung Ramblers' song "Don't Leave" is a classic example of a blues song, one that deals with the fear of losing a loved one. The lyrics are simple - a plea to a lover not to leave, made all the more poignant by the repetitive chorus of "Please don't leave me, baby, please don't go." The song is delivered with raw emotion and features a distinctive guitar riff that is unmistakeably bluesy.
The song speaks to the common fear of abandonment that many people experience in romantic relationships. It is a reminder that even the strongest love can be fragile, and that it takes work to keep a relationship going. The repeated refrain underscores this sense of vulnerability, as the singer begs his lover not to leave him alone and empty.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it is about the fear of being alone. The singer doesn't know what he'll do if his lover leaves, and this fear drives him to plead with her not to go. As the song progresses, his desperation becomes more and more apparent, until he is practically begging for her to stay.
