I use to live in Baltimore. I now live in a small town in VA. Baltimore is a dangerous city to live in. All you see are drugs and crime on the streets of Baltimore. Baltimore city is also getting too expensive to live in anymore.

[Sportfreak04Dan]

my heart is filled with laughter when i hear this song

thanks for the music

Damn. Detroit City? Batimore? this guys itchin to get robbed n shot! maybe 1966 was a better time in America. I live in the woods of Northern Wisconsin thanks to a brief time I spent in D.C. Baltimore AND Detroit. Americas Cities are crime ridden War Zones. i was born to late. Wish i coulda seen the inner citys that were worhty of song.

[GimpSuit99]

@ydnarnosfatsug You forgot Memphis! ("That's how I got to Memphis")

[ImagineNoPossessions]

B'more?

Its more or less one big slum from what I saw of it from the Amtrak train

[eallison9]

@ImagineNoPossessions

I think he's referring to the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore in particular that attracted many people from the Appalachain region to work in the factories there. Now it is somewhat hipster central, lots of expensive home stores, trendy restaurants, etc. Baltimore is an odd town, Charles street is as lovely as anything on the upper west side of NYC while 2 blocks away Howard St is an abandoned wreck.

[ImagineNoPossessions]

B'more? The singer's wife musta been a cullid gal.

[AlishaMcRoberts]

good tons

[YoungAtHeart1941]

One of my favorite Bobby Bare songs. Saw Bobby in 1961 in little town in Iowa before he became popular. That night Bobby also did great impressions of Elvis & Dean Martin. Paid a whopping 50 cents (US Currency) to see Bobby. Thanks for upload.

[steinsteel]

Bobby Bare is deep. Sad that didnt record him right. He had sound in his live recordings that didnt get captured on record. Sad.

[tutun74]

The best sad couuntry song ever sang

[gourdhead5]

@tutun74  better than "you don't have to call me darlin"?

look under David Allen Coe on youtube

[daveyj308846]

I live in Baltimore or in our native accent Bawlmer and too bad its not like how Bobby sings it anymore

[LoopsnoopNpass]

@daveyj308846

I lived there for a couple years, 3 blocks from Greenmount Ave. on St. Paul and Chase, boy howdy there's some crime. Although Baltimore holds alot of history. its a shame to see the deterioration

[rreganjjohnn]

I worked with Bobby iin the sixties at 'The Nashville room ' in London. my band 'The Tumbleweeds' backed him also in Germany. great times, great songs, cheers Johnny Regan

[tuomo63]

One of the best sad countrysong ever.

[wesbeebub]

i just love the pathos he puts in his songs

[BigDuckKetterer]

First time I ever heard this song was just now Awesome!!! I don't know who compared Bobby Bare to Obama, but there is no comparison. Bobby Bare HAS CLASS and he is a CLASS ACT!!!! Ten Stars. I love his music because you feel like you are inhis shoes!!!!

[MsDerbygirl]

An oldie but a goodie. One of my favs by Bobby.

[bruceok]

To Mybarber1: I thought the very same thing....but a different video --- I believe it was Detroit City....he looks exactly like Obama.

[agork]

Obama who?

[heavendadbrother]

Really good to hear this again, I miss when my dad would sing this song.

Legends.....

[ernlay]

Lots of folk's babies walk the streets of Baltimore.

[lorriemallard]

FANTASTIC!!!

Thank you to whoever found and posted this treasure.

Solid Assed Country at it's best.

[suesongs]

to Champraves311 There is no connection between any Orioles tradition and "Streets of Baltimore".

[mybarber1]

Hey,Bobby looks kinda like Obama Has a voice like Obama to.

[NathanielWarhound]

Oh God don't make that comparison!

[newfiebygarge]

This is fantastic,thx for posting.

[6141941]

love all old country. does anyone have i can almost see houston from here by ronnie milsap

[44Snyder]

Jerry Reed's favorite fishing buddy.

[eaglestirreth]

Amazingly good.Would put this amongst my top ten on Youtube.....Will be back to hear this again.....again....and again....

[SavageArmsMan]

There's something about Bobby Bare's music that does something to me. I aint quite sure what it is, but it makes me overall just feel good!

[FiddlinMiss27]

Makes me want to ramble!

[leithboy1]

@SavageArmsMan I can't explain it either brother but I know what you mean...

[janey011]

the best song i have ever heard

[suesongs]

One of my favorite songs. There is a lot of truth in the lyrics. It is a hard life trying to 'cratch a living' out of the rocky soil in Tennessee. A lot of hillbillies were attracted to the east coast (Baltimore) because of the factory jobs. Trouble was the cost of living there was a lot higher and they were no better off. In fact, many couldn't even go back home, because of either the lack of money or pride. As a result there were a lot of hillbilly bars and country music stations in Baltimore.

[Champraves311]

Explains the "Thank God I'm a country-boy" tradition at the 7th inning stretch of Orioles games. People today can not imagine why such a song would represent Baltimore.

[Raymantico]

I love this and I love Gram Parsons' version--

no reason to say one is better than the other

[whispperson]

This is Great to see a Young Bobby Bare singing a Favorate Song of mine.

Thanks for this.
