Bobby Bare's, "The Streets Of Baltimore"
The Lyrics:
Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth is 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

Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
Why:
Baltimore, Maryland
