------------------------

"Baby, Please Don't Go" is a blues song first recorded by Big Joe Williams in 1935.
It is related to a group of early 20th century blues and work songs that include "I'm Alabama Bound", "Another Man Done Gone", and "Don't Leave Me Here", and "Turn Your Lamp Down Low".
It has become a blues and rock standard, and has been recorded by many artists.

The original 1935 single by Joe Williams' Washboard Blues Singers can be heard on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 4 (Revenant, 2000).

Notable cover versions

Van Morrison and Them

The band Them, fronted by Van Morrison, released "Baby, Please Don't Go" as the A side of a single in late 1964.
Boosted by the B side, a ditty entitled "Gloria", the single became their first hit, reaching No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
Rhythm guitar was contributed by a then little-known Jimmy Page, however he did not play the lead guitar on the track.
It was re-released on the Deram label in 1973.

John Lee Hooker's posthumously released DVD Come See About Me includes a 1992 performance where Hooker plays "Baby, Please Don't Go" on his guitar while sitting on a dock. He is accompanied on harmonica by Them's Van Morrison.

Amboy Dukes / Ted Nugent

Since it was The Amboy Dukes' debut single, former Dukes guitarist Ted Nugent has covered the song in live performances throughout his career. The single is included on the 1967 album The Amboy Dukes.

AC/DC recorded a version for their 1975 Australia-only album High Voltage; it was released internationally in 1984 on their compilation EP '74 Jailbreak.

Aerosmith released a version of "Baby, Please Don't Go" on their blues cover album, Honkin' on Bobo in 2004.
