G C 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 she'd 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 she's 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 I'd come home G C With every muscle sore D G She'd 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 I'm 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
