Bobby Bare - "The Streets Of Baltimore"

C C7 F

Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

G7 F C

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

C7 F

And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for

G7 C

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

G7 F C

Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights

G7

She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night

C C7 F

Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

G7 C

And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

C7 F

Then I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine

G7 F C

And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

C7 F

And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore

G7 C

She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore

C7 F

Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be

G7 F C

Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me

C7 F

Now I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before

G7 C

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

G7 C

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimo
