Tom: A
Introdução:
A
She never had a mother,
A
She hardly knew her dad.
A
She's been in town for 18 years,
A
And I'm the only boy she's had.
Bm
Baby, I can't stay.
A
Oh, maybe I'll come back someday.
Bm
Oh baby, don't go,
A
Pretty baby please don't go.
Bm A
I love you so, pretty baby please don't go.
A
I never had no money,
A
I bought at the second-hand store.
A
The way this old town laughs at me,
A
I just can't take it no more.
Bm
Said she can't stay.
A
You're gonna be a lady someday.
Bm
Oh baby, don't go,
A
Pretty baby please don't go.
Bm A
I love you so, pretty baby please don't go.
A
When she gets to the city,
A
Her tears will all be dry.
A
My eyes will look so pretty,
A
No-one's gonna know I cried.
Bm
She's goin' away,
A
And maybe she'll come back someday.
