[00:00.00]Streets of Baltimore - Bobby Bare
[00:09.72]I sold the farm to take my woman
[00:14.25]Where she longed to be
[00:18.60]We left our kin and all our friends
[00:22.74]Back there in Tennessee
[00:26.76]I bought those one way tickets
[00:30.77]She had often begged me for
[00:35.10]And they took us to
[00:36.89]The streets of Baltimore
[00:43.68]Her heart was filled with laughter
[00:47.75]When she saw those city lights
[00:52.17]She said the prettiest place
[00:55.07]On earth is Baltimore at night
[01:02.80]Oh well a man feels proud to give his
[01:06.45]Woman what she's longing for
[01:11.20]And I kind of liked
[01:13.12]The streets of Baltimore
[01:20.22]Well I got myself a factory job
[01:23.99]I ran an old machine
[01:28.37]I bought a little cottage in a
[01:32.71]Neighborhood serene
[01:36.95]Yet every night when I came home
[01:41.29]With every muscle sore
[01:44.90]She would drag me through
[01:46.96]The streets of Baltimore
[01:54.67]Well I did my best to bring her
[01:57.77]Back to what she used to be
[02:02.19]But I soon learned she loved those
[02:05.05]Bright lights much more than
[02:07.93]She loved me
[02:12.33]Now I'm a going back on that same train
[02:17.25]That brought me here before
[02:20.86]While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
[02:28.25]Yes now my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
