As recorded by Willie Nelson (From the 2023 Album I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT LOVE: THE SONGS OF HARLAN HOWARD) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E               A                E                   A
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

   B                                     E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

                       A               E               A
I bought those one-way tickets she had often begged me for

         B                              E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
[Verse 2]
B                                           E
Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights

                                                      B
She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night

        E               A                 E                  A
Well, a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

      B                                 E
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
[Harmonica Solo] E A E A B E [Verse 3]
E              A              E                A
I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

B                                  E
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

                A                     E            A
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore

          B                                   E
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
[Verse 4]
B                                        E
Well, I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be

                                                                     B7
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me

        E             A                    E                 A
Now I'm goin' back on that same train that brought me here before

         B                              E
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

        B                              E
Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
