Well, I sold my farm to take my woman
G# C#
Where she longed to be
D#
We left our kin and all our friends
C# G#
Back there in Tennessee
G# C#
I bought those one-way tickets
G# C#
That sheʼd often begged me for
D# G#
They took us to the streets of Baltimore
D#
Her heart was filled with gladness
C# G#
Just to see those city lights
G#
She swore the prettiest place on earth
D#
Was Baltimore at night
G# C#
A man feels proud to give his woman
G# C#
What sheʼs longing for
D# G#
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore
G# C#
I got myself a factory job
G# C#
I ran an old machine
D#
I bought a little cottage
C# G#
In a neighborhood serene
G# C#
And every night when Iʼd come home
G# C#
With every muscle sore
D# G#
Sheʼd drag me through the streets of Baltimore
D#
I did my best to bring her back
C# G#
To where she used to be
G#
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
D#
More than she loved me
G# C#
So Iʼm a-going back on that same train
G# C#
That brought me here before
D# G#
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
D# C# G#
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
