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 THOSE
ONE WAY TICKETS
SHE HAD OFTEN
BEGGED ME FOR
AND THEY TOOK US TO
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
WELL A MAN
FEELS PROUD
TO GIVE HIS WOMAN
WHAT SHE'S LONGING FOR
AND I KIND OF LIKE
THE STREETS OF
BALTIMORE
THEN I GOT MYSELF
A FACTORY JOB
I RAN AN OLD MACHINE
I BOUGHT
A LITTLE COTTAGE
IN A NEIGHBORHOOD
SERENE
YET EVERY NIGHT
WHEN I CAME HOME
WITH EVERY MUSCLE SORE
SHE WOULD DRAG ME
THROUGH
THE STREETS
OF BALTIMORE
WELL I DID MY BEST
TO BRING HER BACK
TO WHAT SHE USED
TO BE
BUT I SOON LEARNED
SHE LOVED THOSE
BRIGHT LIGHTS
MUCH MORE THAN
SHE LOVED ME
NOW I'M 'A GOING BACK
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
