I never had a mother, I hardly knew my dad I've been in town for eighteen years You're the only boy I've had I can't stay, Maybe I'll be back some day
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 some day
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 goin' away, Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go, Maybe I'll be back some day Baby don't go
