Please Don’t Go lyrics

I once was a baby lyin' in a cradle
My mother fed me from the kitchen table
I’m grown now when the world sure has changed
It's diseased a lot like me and I'ma getting on that train

She says, "No, please don’t go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
She says, "No, please don't go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
"I love you more than you know"

I once had a lover I made her my queen
She had eyes that could tell no lies made of ivory and green
I was younger than and my day was drawin' near
I stumbled in the doorway and she whispered in my ear

She says, "No, please don't go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
She says, "No, please don't go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
"I love you more than you know"

And oh my father he tried at a raising me
He drank away a life of pain of a pints of a misery
He's sober now but I can't say the same
I can hear his tone on the telephone echoing in pain
He says, "No, please don't go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
He says, "No, please don’t go"
"Boy, I love you more than you know"
"I love you more than you know"
