Streets of Baltimore

Streets of Baltimore - Bobby Bare

Written by：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
