《The Streets Of Baltimore(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Streets Of Baltimore (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)

[00:00:09] I sold the farm to take my woman

[00:00:13] Where she longed to be

[00:00:16] We left our kin and all our friends

[00:00:20] Back there in Tennessee

[00:00:24] I bought the one way tickets

[00:00:28] She had often begged me for

[00:00:32] And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

[00:00:40] Well my heart was filled with laughter

[00:00:43] When I saw those city lights

[00:00:48] She said the prettiest place on earth

[00:00:52] Was Baltimore at night

[00:00:57] Well a man feels proud to give his woman

[00:01:01] What she's longing for

[00:01:05] And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore

[00:01:13] I got myself a factory job

[00:01:17] I ran an old machine

[00:01:21] We bought a little cottage

[00:01:24] In a neighborhood serene

[00:01:29] But every night when I came home

[00:01:32] With every muscle sore

[00:01:36] She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

[00:01:45] Well I did my best to bring her back

[00:01:48] To what she used to be

[00:01:50] But I soon learned she loved those bright lights

[00:01:54] Much more than she loves me

[00:01:56] Much more than she loves me

[00:02:02] Now I'm goin' back on that same train

[00:02:05] That brought me here before

[00:02:09] While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

[00:02:17] Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
