Streets Of Baltimore Lyrics

Well 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
And I bought those one way tickets she had 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

Then 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 what she used to
be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights 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
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
