Streets of Baltimore Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

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 that she was begging for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Her eyes, they shone with laughter 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


I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood, serene
When I come home from working late with every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

I′ll give anything to take her back to what she used to be
But I guess she loved those city lights more than she loved me
So I'm heading home on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

So I'm heading home on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
