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 be back someday
Chorus:
Oh 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
Said she can't stay
She's gonna be a lady someday
Chorus
When she 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,
And maybe she'll be back someday
Chorus
