Baby Don't Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Sonny Bono)
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
Chorus:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby 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:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby 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
Hey maybe she'll come back someday
Chorus:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby don't go
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I 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, no)
