Ainara Vila - Streets of Baltimore Lyrics

Well he sold the farm to take his woman where she longed to be We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee Then he bought those one-way tickets I had often begged him for And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well my heart was filled with gladness when we saw those city lights He said, "The prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night" Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for, And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore

Then he got himself a factory job, he ran an old machine And we bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene Then every night when he comes home with every muscle sore He drags me through the streets of Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring him back to what he used to be Then I soon learned he loved those bright lights more than he loved me Now I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before While my darling walks the streets of Baltimore While my darling walks the streets of Baltimore
