Streets Of Baltimore
Bobby Bare
Album: The Essential Bobby Bare


E                   A        E                       A 
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
    B                                      E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
                         A               E              A
I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
          B                              E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

E     B                                                      E
Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
                                                       B
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
        B                                E
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

E                     A            E            A
Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
    B                            E
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
                     A                  E            A
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore
            B                                  E
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

E    B                                                   E
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
                                                                          B
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
          B                              E
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
        B                              E
Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
