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
