The Streets of Baltimore

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 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"
 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 muscles 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
