"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
more
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
ets of Baltimo
