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
