Streets Of Baltimore

Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she wants to be

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

Then I bought those one way tickets she'd often begged me for

They took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw the city lights

She swore 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 like the streets of Baltimore

So I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore

She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring her back to where she used to be

But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me

So I'm a 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
