I won't let you go

I won't let you go

Not to Detroit City

Not to Chicago



Well I won't let you go

And I won't let you go

Not to Mississippi

Not to Tupelo



But if you're gonna leave

I'm asking you to please go

All the way to Mexico



Well I won't let you leave

I won't let you leave

Not with all my Django

Emmy Lou and Steve



And I won't let you leave

I won't let you leave

Not with my revival

Tucked down in the sleeve



But if you're gonna go

Take the ones you gave to me

All the way to Mexico



CHORUS:

All the way to the shore

Of California Bay

And I'll be fine

'Cause I've taken you back

For the last time



And I won't set you free

I won't set you free

Not to say "it's over"

And come right back to me



But if you're gonna go

I'm giving you the key

But only if you'll go

to Mexico



CHORUS x 2



So if you're gonna go

Baby won't you please

Go all the way to Mexico

All the way to Mexico
