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

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

Oh baby don´t go
Pretty baby please don´t go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don´t go

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 back someday

Oh baby don´t go
Pretty baby please don´t go
I love you so, pretty baby
Please don´t go
