I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Not to Detroit City
Not to Chicago

Well I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
Not to Mississippi
Not to Tupelo

But if you're gonna leave
I'm asking you to please go
All the way to Mexico

Well I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with all my Django
Emmy Lou and Steve

And I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave
Not with my revival
Tucked down in the sleeve

But if you're gonna go
Take the ones you gave to me
All the way to Mexico
 [bad word] 
All the way to the shore
Of California Bay
And I'll be fine
'Cause I've taken you back
For the last time

And I won't set you free
I won't set you free
Not to say "it's over" [bad word] right back to me

But if you're gonna go
I'm giving you the key
But only if you'll go
to Mexico
 [bad word] x 2

So if you're gonna go
Baby won't you please
Go all the way to Mexico
All the way to Mexico
