Well I sold the farm to take my
woman where she longed to be
We left our kin and all our friends
And I bought those one way tickets
she had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
Well her heart was filled with gladness
when she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on
earth was Baltimore at night
Well a man feels proud to give his
woman what she's longing for
And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore
Well I did my best to bring her
back to what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright
lights more than she loved me
Now I'm a going back on that same train
that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
