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 18 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 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
