Dm C
            Dm                           C
Baby don't go, pretty baby please don't go

[Verse 1]
  C
I never had another
  C
I hardly knew my dad
  C
I been in town for eighteen years
  C
You're the only boy I've had

[Chorus]
        Dm                           C
I can't stay, baby I'll be back someday
          Dm                           C
Baby don't go, pretty baby please don't go
           Dm                          C
I love you so, pretty baby please don't go

[Verse 2]
  C
I never had no money
  C
I bought at the second-hand store
   C
The way this old town laughs at me
  C
I just can't take it no more

[Chorus]
       Dm
I can't stay
                        C
I'm gonna be a lady someday
          Dm                           C
Baby don't go, pretty baby please don't go
          Dm                           C
I love you so, pretty baby please don't go

[Verse 3]
     C
When I get to the city
    C
My tears will all be dry
    C
My eyes will look so pretty
    C
No one's gonna know I cried

[Outro]
             Dm                            C
Yes I'm going away, maybe I'll be back someday
          Dm                          C
Baby don't go, maybe I'll be back someday
          Dm                          C
Baby don't go, maybe I'll be back someday
