Baltimore Songtext
von Judi Jackson

Beat up little seagull
On the marble stair
Tryin′ to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In the hard town by the sea
Ain′t nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free

Hooker on the corner
Waitin′ for a train
Drunk, lyin′ on the sidewalk
Sleepin' in the rain
And the people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
′Cause the city is dying
And they don't know why


Oh, oh, oh, oh Baltimore
Ain′t it hard just to live?
Oh, oh, oh, oh Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Got my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
Gonna haul us all away
Said I′ll move out to the country, country, country
Where the mountain's high
Never gonna come back here, back here, back here
'Til the day I die, yeah, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh Baltimore
Ain′t it hard just to live?
Oh, oh, oh, oh Baltimore
Ain′t it hard just to live?
Just to live


Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain't it hard just to live in the city?
Ain′t it hard? Ain't it hard?
Ain′t it hard just to live in the city?
Ain't it hard? Ain′t it hard?
Just to live, just to live, just to live
Ain't it hard?

Beat up little seagull
On the marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin′ everywhere
Oh, down in Baltimore
Ain′t it hard just to live?
