Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for

C                                        F

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

C                                                F

Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights

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

C                                          F

She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore

C                                        F

Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
