I sold my farm to take my woman where she longed to be |
|
I left my kin and my friends back there in Tennessee |
|
I bought the 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 |
|
A man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for |
|
And I tried of liked the streets of Baltimore |
|
I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine |
|
I bought her this cottage in a neighborhood serene |
|
And every night when I came home with every muscle sore |
|
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore |
|
Well, I tried hard to bring her back to where she used to be |
|
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than me |
|
Well, 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 |
