The Streets of Baltimore |
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 oneway 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 |
Oh 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 |
