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
