Sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
|
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennesee
|
Bought those one way tickets, she had often begged me for
|
And it took us to the streets of Baltimore
|
I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
|
Bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
|
Every night when I came home with every muscle sore
|
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore (steel)
|
(recited)
|
Well I tried my best to bring her back to where she used to be
|
(sung)
|
I guess she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me
|
Well I guess I'll head on back to the place I was before
|
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
|
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
