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 the one way tickets

She had often begged me for

That took us to

The streets of Baltimore

Her heart was filled with laughter

When she saw those city lights

She said, "She prettiest place

On earth is Baltimore at night"

A man feels proud to give

His woman what she's longing for

And I kind of liked

The streets of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job

I ran an old machine

We bought a little cottage

In a neighborhood serene

But every night when I came home

With every muscle sore

She'd drag me through

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 kind of liked

The streets of Baltimore

I did my best to bring her back

To what she used to be

But soon I learned she loved

Those bright lights more than me

Now, I'm a going home 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
