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