(From the 1966 Album THE STREETS OF BALTIMORE)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E A
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
B7 E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
A E A
I bought those oneway tickets she had often begged me for
B7 E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
[Verse 2]
B7 E
Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
B7
She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night
E A E A
Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
B7 E
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
[Verse 3]
E A E A
Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
B7 E
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
A E A
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore
B7 E B7
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
[Verse 4]
B7 E
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
B7
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me
E A E A
Now I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
B7 E
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
B7 E
Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
