To what she used to be
Well, a man feels proud to give his woman
Songwriters: Tompall Glaser, Harlan Howard
Yes, and every night when I came home
I ran an old machine
Well, her heart was filled with gladness
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
That brought me here before
Where she wanted to be
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

More than she loved me
With every muscle sore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
So I'm going back on that same train
And I bought a little cottage
Well, I tried my best to bring her back
We left our friends and all our kin
She'd often begged me for
She said the prettiest place on earth was
Well, I got myself a factory job
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
Well, I sold the farm to take my woman
Back there in Tennessee
And I bought those one way tickets
What she's longing for
In a neighborhood serene
When she saw those city lights
Baltimore at night
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
