Streets Of Baltimore (lyrics)
Written by Tompall Glaser/H. Howard

I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
We left our kin and all 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 Baltimore

Her heart was filled with laughter  when she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I kind of liked the Streets Of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
Bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
But every night  when I came home  with every muscle sore
She would drag me through the Streets Of Baltimore

Eventually our little home began to lose it's glow
The night life and the wine had changed the girl I used to know
And when I tried to talk to her  she'd leave and slam the door
As she headed for the Streets Of Baltimore

I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
Now I'm goin' 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
 

Proud Mary (lyrics)
Written by John Fogerty

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel a keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Chorus:
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river

Seen a lot of places in Memphis
Chopped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel a keep on  turnin, Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Chorus:
Chorus:

If you come down to the river
Betcha' gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry 'cuz you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'
