My baby left town But I wonder why you go Drive down baby Like showers of rain Can't you hear my fair girl Call my name Can't you hear my fair girl call my name? She calls so loud, it's so plain I walked on down to the station

Well, I rolled and I tumbled, Cried the whole night long. Well, I told my baby, Before I left that town. Owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh. Well, if the river was whiskey, And I was a divin' duck. Well, I could a had a religion, This bad old thing instead.

I hate to see that evening sun go down Cause my baby, he's gone left this town Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls that man

And we all have to walk it alone I could move to a small town And become a waitress Say my name was Stacy And I was figuring things out See, my baby, he left me And I don't feel like staying here tonight I remember sleepless nights I remember Chicago

I know love, I know pain Got a little rusty in the rain I've been lost, I've been found I left my mark on my little bitty town Yeah, raise me if you could, baby Raise me a whole lotta hell And if I ever get to heaven I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah

Shout baby shout I know my baby she just shook and jumped and shout I'm gonna send my baby a brand new 20 dollar bill Lake Michigan ain't no river Chicago ain't no Hillie town My baby left town you know she left me a mule to ride If that don't bring her

I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause my baby, he's gone left this town Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls that man
