The Streets of Baltimore - Bobby Bare
I sold the farm to take my woman
where she longed to be
We left our kin and all our friends
back there in Tennssee
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...
