Streets Of Baltimore
I sold the farm to take my woman
- I sold the farm to take my woman
- Where she longed to be
- We left our kin and all our friends back
- There in Tennessee
- I bought those one way tickets
- She had often begged me for
- And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
- Her heart was filled with laughter
- When she saw those city lights
- She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night
- Well a man feels proud to give his woman
- What she's longing for
- And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
- Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
- I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
- Yet every night when I came home
- With every muscle sore
- She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
- Well I did my best to bring her back to
- What she used to be
- But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
- Much more than she loved me
- Now I'm a going back on that same train
- That brought me here before
- While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
- Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
