The Streets Of Baltimore - Bobby Bare

作词：Tompall Glaser/Harlan Howard

作曲：Tompall Glaser/Harlan Howard

I sold the farm to take my woman

Where she longed to be

We left our kin and all our

Friends back there in Tennssee

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
