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