Capo 1 (Recorded In G#G#)
G+G C majorC G+G
We left the farm twas early one morn'
D7D7
Determined we'd be back no more
G+G C majorC G+G
My wife had an uncle that worked ever day
D7D7 G+G
In a nut and bolt factory up in Baltimore
C majorC G+G
The day we arrived to start our new life
D7D7
Our big dreams had started to soar
G+G C majorC G+G
I got me a job a carrying
D7D7 G+G
Breathing the smog of old Baltimore
C majorC G+G
That dirt it was black and the work hurt my back
D7D7
And I swore I could do it no more
G+G C majorC G+G
Yes I thought I'd die from the sun in the sky
D7D7 G+G
Things would get better here in Baltimore
C majorC G+G
The next thing I knew my wife took the flu
D7D7
And the doctor bills soon made us poor
G+G C majorC G+G
And to make ends meet I started to sweep
D7D7 G+G
Those dirty old streets up in Baltimore
C majorC G+G
The smell of the bay the buildings of gray
D7D7
Was more than I bargained for
G+G C majorC G+G
If I had my way I'd go home today
D7D7 G+G
For there's no milk and honey here in Baltimore
D7D7 G+G
For there's no milk and honey here in Baltimore
