Streets of Baltimore

[Verse 1]
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
Then I bought those one-way tickets
She'd often beg me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

[Verse 2]
Well, her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those city lights
She swore the prettiest place on earth
Was Baltimore at night
Wеll, a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing for
And I kinda like thе streets of Baltimore

[Verse 3]
So 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

[Verse 4]
Well, I did my best to bring her back
To where she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
More than she loved me
So 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
