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
