Baltimore

I don't know but I've been told They'll need men to work the road The Ohio line down to the coast From their factories, and mining coal Now I know I need to go And I can't go alone A man there may chart his course With pay enough to keep skin on bone My precious Maggie can't we go Where the magistrate leaves well alone We can sail out together The old world sinking down I don't know but I've been told Blood weighs forever more than gold To save the boys still not yet grown Would be your mother's load to bear alone Still I know when we lie together Our love must run its course And our lives beyond these walls We can sail out together The dawn's new light May rise upon our new Baltimore
