Baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go

I never had a mother
I hardly knew my dad
I've been in town for eighteen years
You're the only boy I've had

I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back some day

Baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't go

I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more

I can't stay
I'm gonna be a lady some day

Baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't go

When I get to the city
My tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried

Yes I'm goin' away
Maybe I'll be back some day

Baby don't go
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go
Maybe I'll be back some day
