|
Well I sold the farm to take my woman
|
Where she wanted to be
|
We left our friends and all our kin
|
Back there in Tennessee
|
And I bought those one way tickets
|
She had often begged me for
|
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
|
|
Well her heart was filled with gladness
|
When she saw those city lights
|
She said the prettiest place on earth was
|
Baltimore at night
|
Well a man feels proud to give his woman
|
What she's longing for
|
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore
|
|
Well 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 came home
|
With every muscle sore
|
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore
|
|
Well I tried my best to bring her back
|
To what she used to be
|
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
|
More than she loved me
|
So I'm going back on that same train
|
That brought me here before
|
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
|
