What I remember from the 60's went Baby, please don't go, Baby please don't go, Baby please don't go down to New Orleans you know I love you so Baby please don'y go,You know I walked the line(3x) with my shackles on, to the county farm, Baby please don't go, You put me way down here.... That's all I can recall. Ido remember it being sung at a fast clip, slowed down it would sound related to Another Man Done Gone, a prison holler,wih it's origins pre dating chain gang, coming out of slavery.
