I won't let you go   I won't let you go   Not to Detroit City   Not to Chicago      And I won't let you go   I won't let you go   Not to Mississippi   Not to Tupelo      But if you're going to leave,   I'm asking you, please   Go all the way to Mexico      I won't let you leave   I won't let you leave   Not with all my django   Emmy Lou and Steve      I won't let you leave   I won't let you leave   Not with my revival   Tucked down in its sleeve      But if you're gonna go   Take the ones you gave to me   All the way to Mexico      All the way to the shore of California Bay   And I'll be fine   'Cause I have 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   And come right back to me      But if you're gonna go   I'm giving you the key   But only if you'll go to Mexico      All the way to the shore of California Bay   And I'll be fine   'Cause I have taken you back for the last time      So if you're gonna go   I'm giving you the key   But only if you go to Mexico
