The Streets Of Baltimore (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
I sold the farm to take my woman[00:00:09]
Where she longed to be[00:00:13]
We left our kin and all our friends[00:00:16]
Back there in Tennessee[00:00:20]
I bought the one way tickets[00:00:24]
She had often begged me for[00:00:28]
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore[00:00:32]
Well my heart was filled with laughter[00:00:40]
When I saw those city lights[00:00:43]
She said the prettiest place on earth[00:00:48]
Was Baltimore at night[00:00:52]
Well a man feels proud to give his woman[00:00:57]
What she's longing for[00:01:01]
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore[00:01:05]
I got myself a factory job[00:01:13]
I ran an old machine[00:01:17]
We bought a little cottage[00:01:21]
In a neighborhood serene[00:01:24]
But every night when I came home[00:01:29]
With every muscle sore[00:01:32]
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore[00:01:36]
Well I did my best to bring her back[00:01:45]
To what she used to be[00:01:48]
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights[00:01:50]
Much more than she loves me[00:01:54]
Much more than she loves me[00:01:56]
Now I'm goin' back on that same train[00:02:02]
That brought me here before[00:02:05]
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore[00:02:09]
Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore[00:02:17]
