Pretty baby please don't go
My eyes will look so pretty
Pretty baby please don't go
When I get to the city
My tears will all be dry
I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back some day
Pretty baby please don't go
I hardly knew my dad
Pretty baby please don't go
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
Maybe I'll be back some day
You're the only boy I've had
Maybe I'll be back some day
I never had no money
Yes I'm goin' away
I love you so
I'm gonna be a lady some day
The way this old town laughs at me
I've been in town for eighteen years
Baby don't go
Baby don't go
I love you so
I bought at the second hand store
No one's gonna know I cried
I never had a mother
