[Verse 1]
Baby, won't you come out tonight?
Just come up the hill
'Cause there's a full moon on the risin'
Hey baby, can't you steal away?
You know I really need to see you tonight

[Verse 2]
I just got word you were packing it in
What's the matter?
Has this old town got you crazy again?
I can see the sad look in your eyes
But I don't know how to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
And tomorrow, you're gonna have your day
Take your wife and you're gonna run away
Baby while I'm waiting
You'll be sailing like a hawk across the bay
Singing

[Chorus]
Ooo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Mmmmm, baby, won't you come out tonight?

[Verse 4]
Oh baby, won't you come out tonight?
We'll run up the hill and we'll dance in the moonlight
Let me gaze into your eyes 'til we both go blind
Oh baby, can I see you tonight?

[Verse 5]
I'm just trying' to find a way to make it last
Good friends, they seem to slip away so fast
And I know we're both headed down separate tracks
An when you go, baby don't look back

[Verse 6]
There won't be no more sleeping over on a Tuesday night
No more running to the races for a dark horse at midnight
No more dancing after hours, singing in the showers
Or clinging to each other in the soft morning light
Singing

[Chorus]
Ooo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Mmmmm, baby, won't you come out tonight?

[Verse 7]
Oh baby, won't you come tonight?
I'll meet you on the corner
And you'll be there at midnight
Oh baby, can you steal away?
You know I really want to see you tonight

[Verse 8]
Oh baby, can you come out tonight?
We'll run up the hill and dance again in the moonlight
Oh baby, can you steal away?
I really wanna see you tonight

[Verse 9]
Oh baby, won't you come out tonight?
Come up the hill
There's a full moon on the rise
Oh baby, can you steal away?
Baby, won't you come out tonight?

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
