[00:08.40] | Well, I sold the farm and took my woman where she wanted to be |
[00:16.20] | We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee |
[00:23.90] | And I bought the one way tickets she'd often begged me for |
[00:31.40] | And they took us to the streets of Baltimore |
[00:39.50] | Well, her heart was filled with gladness when I saw those city lights |
[00:47.20] | She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night |
[00:56.90] | Well, the man feels proud to give his woman what she's longin' for |
[01:04.40] | And I kinda like the streets of Baltimore |
[01:43.00] | Well, I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine |
[01:50.80] | And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene |
[01:58.50] | Yes, and every night when I came home with every muscle sore |
[02:06.10] | She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore |
[02:14.20] | Well, I tried my best to bring her back to what she used to be |
[02:21.90] | But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights |
[02:26.10] | Much more than she loves me |
[02:31.20] | So I'm goin' back on that same train that brought me here before |
[02:47.10][02:39.30] | While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore |
