DO FA DO
Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
SOL FA DO
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
DO FA DO
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
SOL DO
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
SOL FA DO
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights
DO SOL
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
DO FA DO
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
SOL DO
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
