Streets Of Baltimore - Willie Nelson

Lyrics by：Harlan Howard/Tompall Glaser

Composed by：Harlan Howard/Tompall Glaser

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

I bought those one way

Tickets she had often begged me for

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Her heart was filled with laughter

When she saw those city lights

She said the prettiest place

On earth is Baltimore at night

Well a man feels proud to give

His woman what she's longing for

And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job

I ran an old machine

And I bought a little cottage

In a neighborhood serene

Yet every night when

I came home with every muscle sore

She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring

Her back to what she used to be

But I soon learned she loved those

Bright lights more than she loved me

Now I'm a goin' back on that same

Train that brought me here before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
