Bobby Bare - Streets Of Baltimore lyrics

rate me

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 oneway 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

Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

Well 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
