The Streets of Baltimore

I sold my farm to take my woman where she longed to be

I left my kin and my friends back there in Tennessee

I bought the 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

A man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

And I tried of liked the streets of Baltimore

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

I bought her this cottage in a neighborhood serene

And every night when I came home with every muscle sore

She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well, I tried hard to bring her back to where she used to be

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

Well, 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
