Answer: 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... I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone Turn your lamp down low... I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go." The Delta Blues musician Big Joe Williams popularized this old blues standard in 1935, and Muddy Waters recorded his version in 1953. John Lee Hooker also recorded a soulful version of the song in 1959, from which Them's version was derived. Them, with 19-year-old Van Morrison as their lead singer, released "Baby, Please Don't Go" as a single in 1964 in the U.K. and in 1965 in the U.S. with "Gloria" on the B-side. Van Morrison was influenced by Muddy Waters and alludes to him in his song "And the Healing Has Begun": "Let's just sit down and take tea I'll just move over there a little bit now Yeah, I'm gonna play this Muddy Waters record you got there Oh, if you just open up a little bit And let me come on in one some backstreet jellyroll."
