Charley Pride - Streets of Baltimore Lyrics






Sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennssee
Bought those oneway tickets she had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore.

Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
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
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore.

Then I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
Bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
Every night when I came home with every muscle sore
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore.

Well, I tried my best to bring her back to what she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me
Well, I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore.

Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore...

    Love this song

  3. P.... H....

    Sold the farm to take my woman
    Where she longed to be
    We left our kin and all our friends
    Back there in Tennessee

    Bought those oneway tickets
    She had often begged me for
    And they took us to the streets of Baltimore.

    Her heart was filled with laughter
    When she saw those city lights
    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
    And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore.

    Then I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
    Bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
    Every night when I came home
    With every muscle sore
    She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore.

    Well, I tried my best to bring her back
    To what she used to be
    But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
    Much more than she loved me

    Well, I'm going back on that same train
    That brought me here before
    While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore.
    Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore.....

  80. A.... S....

    Boy, times sure do change!

  81. P.... J....

    super belle vois j adore me fait rêver meme ci je comprend l anglais

  82. M.... H....

    Charlie Did His Version Live Bare Did His Version In A Studio You Tell Me What It's Like To Perform In Front Of A Live Audience Compared To A Closed Studio.

  83. M.... H....

    Great version!!

  84. S.... ....

    Panther Hall was a tour de force for Lloyd. Charlie sings his ass off, but it's Lloyd that pulls me back

  85. G.... L....

    The best version by far, produced by Cowboy Jack Clement was by the guy who wrote it with Harlan Howard - Tompall Glaser.  Takes a minute extra as they don't rush it looking for radio play. A real performance worth finding.

  86. M.... B....

    hey Randy,right on.looks like  such a nice city.im at manitoba Canada.

  87. R.... A....

    The riots of Baltimore brought me here.  Like if that's why you're here too.

  88. M.... B....

    BURN,BABY,BURN!

    M.... B....

    @Mark Bartlett Fire really makes those bright lights in Baltimore seem dim, Now doesn't it? Mr. Wipple would turn over in his grave, because in Baltimore the toilet paper doesn't feel like Toilet Paper anymore.  Only fire bombs. 

    M.... B....

    @anAHDAMofYAH Very good...Wonder what ol` Mr.Wipple is up to these days...

    M.... B....

    @Mark Bartlett Somewhere in far beyond, & the hereafter squeezing his Charmin I suppose. 

  89. a.... ....

    I love Charlie Pride, but Bobby Bare's cover of this song is much better IMHO.

    a.... ....

    @awe1953 Not better, just different, brother.

    a.... ....

    @Jay Motensen Can't argue with your logic, that's very true! Bobby's version just comes across to me as more moody, soul-stirring, and heart wrenching. Both artist do a great job however.

  90. V.... S....

    The first time I heard this song I knew I had to learn and sing it.... Those who loved country music all said I did a great job.... Well in the good old day at least....lol :)

  91. k.... w....

    tar my tilbake 63 min første tur til sjøs  besøkte alle byer langs kysten fra new york
    til frisco   hvilken tid  hvilken musikk vi opplevde   drømmer tilbake.

  92. N.... H....
