Little Willies - Streets of Baltimore Lyrics

Well, I sold the farm and took my woman where she wanted to be
We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee
And I bought the one way tickets she'd often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well, her heart was filled with gladness when I saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
Well, the man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I kinda like the streets of Baltimore

Well, I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
Yes, and every night when I came home with every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well, I tried my best to bring her back to what she used to be
But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights
Much more than she loves me

So I'm going back 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
