The Streets of Baltimore

歌詞

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
