[Verse 1]
Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free
[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live, just to live
[Verse 3]
Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Gonna buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away
Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never ever gonna come back here
'Til the day I diе
[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to livе, just to live
Can you feel it?
Play for me
[Outro]
Oh, Baltimore
Baltimore, ain't it hard to live
Hard times in the city
Baltimore
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard to live
It's so hard to live
Oh, oh
