[RamonaFromPomona]

This is a great song ..

[rcjohnsob]

Love this song. Many memories from those days.

[downhill240]

Damn! I wish I could sing, cause theres' nothing more moving than a beautiful voice.

[TEXASGUNFIGHTER]

You should hear the Hoss (Waylon) sing this song....

Could someone upload Bobby's original studio version of Streets of Baltimore.

Along with Tompall & the Glaser Brothers' version, Bobby's is one of the best

[IamtheDrifter]

Hey, I've always loved this song and I have been trying to figure out the chords, I know it starts in D and of course he uses G and A. Then he does that little step up about 1;15 in the song, It has me all bumfuzulled lol. Can someone help me with the chords/keys in the second part? Thanks

[nativekentuckian]

@IamtheDrifter.... all it does is modulate up 1/2 step by way of the 5 chord (Bb) if you are in the key of D......it has a key change to Eb

[adultbasicskills]

On of my favorites, for years. Listen how he gets choked up near the end. That's when I do too.

Fantastic.

a work of ART.

Ain't it funny how "the Storyteller" can paint you a picture of a person trying to revive love long dead, and he is so good at it, you can see it in your mind's eye, the only version, worth the time, B.B. on the mic, and Tom T. on the pen, classic stuff.

[huntingdogowner]

its a toss up, TomT. or Bobby Bare??? there it is.

[ceh1237]

great song

[rhala1960]

Thanks Bobby Bare

[Roadbackhome1988]

Deryl dosnt have the sound for the lyrics.. all he got is a sound.. but i really like bobbys song!

[roaddog92150]

this is where i would love to go once again

[circlebs1]

Double D's version is the best.

[mbsl5]

I'm usually of the opinion no one sings it like the person that wrote it. But I do love Deryl Dodd's version. Retains the greatness of the song while putting his own touch on it. The Bobby Bare version is not so much a favorite, because it's pretty much just a total remake of Tom T Hall.

[RamisAbud1]

good song, but with Bill Haley is best.

[russspeakeasy]

Many have done it, but Bobby owns it...thanks for posting it...

[russspeakeasy]

Many have doe it, but Bobby owns it...thanks for posting it...

[Buddawg1960]

Deryl Dodd? No thanks. Tom T. Hall? It's his song, and he can scarcely do a bad job on anything. Bobby Bare? This version oozes with soul, plus Bobby is the one who made a hit with it- first. I'll take this version over any others.

[ElvisFreak77]

Elvis, that's why I got to Memphis!!!

[TheJer1963]

@ElvisFreak77 You got that right, Graceland, home of the King.

[floundermd]

How about daryl dodds version....its great and I love classic country

[IamWVhillbilly]

Tom T sang it best but listen to the words. True Love no lead drummer just real country music! Great song!

[WOODYSKYM]

Tom T. Hall wrote this old tune & recorded it also, I believe Bobby Bare did a much better job singing it.

[FOMFFW]

"Three Chords and the Truth" -- what country music is all about -- and this is a prime example

[nativekentuckian]

@FOMFFW .....only thing is.....this song has 12 chords counting the key change....to play it correctly...

[RickinFLA07]

Tom T's version is better.

[dbsckr]

Ill have to agree...it is one of the best country tunes in existance!

[maureensrock]

No one can sing this like Bobby..
