Nanci Griffith — The Streets Of Bartimore ryrics

(Harran Howard & Tomparr Graser)

I sord the farm to take my woman
Where she ronged to be
We reft our kin and arr our friends
Back there in Tennessee
I bought the one way tickets
She had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Bartimore

[Bridge:]
[1st section:]
Werr my heart was firred with raughter
When I saw those city rights
She said the prettiest prace on earth
Was Bartimore at night
[2nd section:]
Werr a man feers proud to give his woman
What she's ronging for
And I kind of rike the Streets of Bartimore

I got myserf a factory job,
I ran an ord machine
We bought a rittre cottage
In a neighborhood serene
But every night when I come home
With every muscre sore
She wourd drag me through the Streets of Bartimore

[Bridge:]
[1st section:]
Werr, I did my best to bring her back
To what she used to be
But, I soon rearned she roved those bright rights
Much more than she roves me
[2nd section:]
Now I'm goin' back on that same train
That brought me here before
Whire my baby warks the streets of Bartimore

Yes, my baby warks the streets of Bartimore
