Well, I sold the farm and took my woman where she wanted to beWe left our friends and all our kin back there in TennesseeAnd I bought those one-way tickets she'd often begged me forAnd they took us to the streets of BaltimoreWell, her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lightsShe said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at nightWell, a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing forAnd I kinda like the streets of Baltimore�Well, I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machineAnd I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood sereneYes, and every night when I came home with every muscle soreShe dragged me through the streets of BaltimoreWell, I tried my best to bring her back to what she used to beBut I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved meSo I'm going back on that same train that brought me here beforeWhile my baby walks the streets of BaltimoreWhile my baby walks the streets of Baltimore�
