Streets of Baltimore

STREETS OF BALTIMORE (3:00)
(By: Glaser/Howard)
[Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris]
Performed by The Highballers

Lyrics:


Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee
I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
And they brought 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 is Baltimore at night
A man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

Well I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
And every night when I got home with every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be

But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
So now I sit on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
