"Baltimore"

From: marc@owlnet.rice.edu (Marc Bennett Hirsh)

             
Well, I sold m

          
y farm to take

 my woman
             
Where she long

      
ed to be
             
We left our ki

  
n and all our 

friends
             
Back there in 

      
Tennessee
             
I bought those

         
 one-way ticke

ts
             
That she'd oft

             
en begged me f

or
             
They took us t

              
o the streets 

        
of Baltimore

           
Her heart was 

filled with gl

adness
             
Just to see th

         
ose city light

s
            
She swore the 

prettiest plac

e on earth
              
Was Baltimore 

   
at night
             
A man feels pr

       
oud to give hi

s woman
             
What she's lon

     
ging for
             
And I kinda li

              
ked the street

          
s of Baltimore

             
I got myself a

 
 factory job
             
I ran an old m

 
achine
       
I bought a lit

tle cottage
             
In a neighborh

      
ood serene
             
And every nigh

       
t when I'd com

e home
             
With every mus

    
cle sore
             
She'd drag me 

              
through the st

              
reets of Balti

I did my best 

to bring her b

ack
             
To where she u

       
sed to be
     
But I soon lea

rned she loved

 those bright 

lights
              
More than she 

      
loved me
             
So I'm a-going

         
 back on that 

same train
             
That brought m

         
e here before
             
While my baby 

              
walks the stre
