C                                               F        C 
Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be 
G                                         F           C 
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee 
C                                            F             C 
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for 
G                                     C 
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore 
G                                                      F        C 
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights 
C                                                     G           
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night 
C                                         F               C 
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for 
G                                   C 
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore 
(the second part follows the same chord pattern) 
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine 
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene 
And every night when I'd come 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 
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me 
Now I'm-a-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
