Baby, don't goPretty baby, please don't go
I never had a motherI hardly knew my dadI've been in town for 18 yearsAnd you're the only boy I've had
I can't stayMaybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't goPretty baby, please don't goI love you soPretty baby, please don't go
I never had no moneyI bought at the second hand storeThe way this old town laughs at meI just can't take it no more
I can't stayI'm gonna be a lady some day
Baby, don't goPretty baby, please don't goI love you soPretty baby, please don't go
When I get to the cityMy tears will all be driedMy eyes will look so prettyNo one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' awayMaybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't goMaybe I'll be back someday
Baby, don't goMaybe I'll be back someday
