Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
We left our kin (семью) and all our friends back there in Tennessee
Then I bought those one-way tickets she had often begged (выпраш) me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
- Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights
She said, "The prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night"
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore
- Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene (безоблачн)
Then 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
