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
