Dear Baltimore   Why?d you take my baby?   You know your harbor ain?t that pretty   You know I miss that boy like crazy      Dear Baltimore   My days here are growing colder   And that girl in the mirror looks older   'Cause his memory weighs down on my shoulders      What did I ever do to you?   So he?d sit there by the sea   To merit losing the only one   Who meant everything to me      Dear Baltimore   When he left Tennessee we were strong   But the roads through Virginia grew long   I guess somewhere we forgot our song      Dear Baltimore   I thought he was over your charms   But you led him straight back to your arms   So much for wishing on all those stars      What did I ever do to you?   So he?d sit there by the sea   To merit losing the only one   Who meant everything to me      What did I ever do to you?   To rob me of my love   Should have known that the chance got weaker   And straight through his blood      What did I ever do to you?   So he?d sit there by the sea   To merit losing the only one   Who meant everything to me      Dear Baltimore   Why?d you take my baby?   You know your harbor never was that pretty   You know I loved that boy like crazy      What did I do to you?   Should?ve know, I should?ve known   What did I do to you?   So he?d sit there by the sea   What did I ever do?
