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