Baby don't go, pretty baby please don't go

I never had another,
I hardly knew my dad
I been in town for eighteen years
You're the only boy I've had

I can't stay, baby I'll be back someday
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 someday
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 going away, maybe I'll be back someday
Baby don't go, maybe I'll be back someday
Baby don't go, maybe I'll be back someday
