Back To Bobby Bare

Streets of Baltimore
Recorded by Gram Parsons, Bobby Bare
Written by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard

[C] Well I sold the farm to take my [F] woman [C] where she longed to be
[G] We left our kin and all our fri-[F]ends back [C] there in Tennessee
[C] And I bought those one way tic-[F]kets she [C] had often begged me for
[G] And they took us to the stre-[C]ets of Baltimore
[G] Well her heart was filled with gladness [F] when [C] she saw those city lights
[C] She said the prettiest place on earth [G] was Baltimore at night
[C] Well a man feels proud to give [F] his woman [C] what she's longing for
[G] And I kind of like the Stre-[C]ets of Baltimore

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
