Baby, please don't leave me
I can't take it by myself
Baby, please don't leave me
Can't take it by myself
All the love I have for you in my heart
I can't trust it with nobody else
Sing it, lonnie!
I give you my money, my lovin'
And everything that belong to me
Give you my money, my lovin'
And everything that belong to me
Sing it!
And if I've been a bad fellow
I wasn't intent to be
You say that you love me
How can you stay out the way you do?
You say that you love me
How can you stay out from me the way you do?
But someday I'll find me someone
Baby that will take the place of you
The things I use to take off you baby
I ain't goin' take them no more
'Caused me to drink and gamble
'Caused me to tramp through the rain and snow
But now I'm so glad
I've found me a brand new place to go
You're right!
I love you and I trust you
Then you let me catch you wrong
Aaaaah, stop for me!
I love you and I trust you
And you ain't stayed here since I been gone
So here's your brand new ticket
And hell will be your brand new home
