Baby don't go,   Pretty baby please don't go      I never had a brother   I hardly knew my dad   I've been in town for 18 years   and you're the only boy I've had   I can't stay   maybe 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 much money   I shopped at the second-hand store   the way this old town laughs at me   I just can't take no more   Yes I'm going away,   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 dried   My eyes will look so pretty   No one gonna know I cried   Yes, I'm going away   Maybe I'll be back someday      Baby don't go   Baby I'll be back someday   Baby don't go   Baby I'll be back someday   Baby don't go   Baby I'll be back someday
