She never had a mother
She hardly knew her dad
She's been in town for 18 years
And I'm the only boy she's had
Baby, I can't stay
Maybe I'll come back somedayOh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't goI 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
Said she can't stay
You gonna be a lady somedayOh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby please don't goShe gets to the city
Her tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
She's goin' away
Hey maybe she'll come back somedayOh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't goI love you so
I love you so
Oh, pretty baby please don't go
I won't go, no no no
Hey baby, oh baby, please baby don't go
Well, I won't go, no
Pretty baby please don't go
I won't go, noI love you so
I love you so
