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
i'm goin' away
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 love you so
pretty baby please don't go
