I sold the farm [A] to take my woman [E] where she longed to be.
[B] Left our kin and all our friends [E] back there in Tennessee.
Bought [E] those one-way [A] ickies she [E] had often bid [A] me for.
And [B] they took us to the streets of [E] Baltimore.
[B] Our heart was filled with laughing when [E] she saw the city lights.
And she said, the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore [B] at night.
[E] Well, a man feels [A] proud to give his woman [E] what she's longing [A] for.
[B] And I kinda like the streets of [E] Baltimore.
Got myself [A] a factory job.
[E] I ran an [A] old machine.
[B] Bought a little cottage [E] in a neighborhood serene.
Every night [A] when I came home [E] with every muscle [A] sore,
[B] she would drag me through the streets of [E] Baltimore.
[B] Well, I did my best to bring her [E] back to what she used to be.
But I soon learned that she loved those bright lights more than she [B] loved me.
Now [E] I'm going back [A] on that same train [E] that brought me [A] here before.
While [B] my baby walks the streets of [B] [E] Baltimore.
Yeah, now [B] my baby walks the streets of [E] Baltimore.
