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