I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night

Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
           G                                               C
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
