B E B Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be F# E B We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee B E B And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for F# B And they took us to the streets of Baltimore F# E B Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights B F# She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night B E B Well a man feels proud to give his woman what sheʼs longing for F# B And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene And every night when Iʼd come home with every muscle sore Sheʼd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me Now Iʼm-a-going back on that same train that brought me here before While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
