Streets Of Baltimore

Well, I sold the farm to take my woman

Where she wanted to be

We left our friends and all our kin

Back there in Tennessee

And I bought those one way tickets

She'd often begged me for

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well, her heart was filled with gladness

When she saw those city lights

She said the prettiest place on earth was

Baltimore at night

Well, a man feels proud to give his woman

What she's longing for

And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

Well, I got myself a factory job

I ran an old machine

And I bought a little cottage

In a neighborhood serene

Yes, and every night when I came home

With every muscle sore

She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well, I tried my best to bring her back

To what she used to be

But I soon learned she loved those bright lights

More than she loved me

So I'm going back on that same train

That brought me here before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
