Baltimore Lyrics - To Be Free - Nina Simone

Beat-up little seagull 

On a marble stair 

Tryin' to find the ocean 

Lookin' everywhere 

Hard times in the city 

In a hard town by the sea 

Ain't nowhere to run to 

There ain't nothin' here for free 

Hooker on the corner 

Waiting for a train 

Drunk lying on the sidewalk 

Sleeping in the rain

And the people hide their faces 

And they hide their eyes 

'Cause the city's dyin' 

And they don't know why 

Oh, Baltimore 

Ain't it hard just to live? 

Oh, Baltimore 

Ain't it hard just to live? 

Just to live 

Get my sister Sandy 

And my little brother Ray 

Buy a big old wagon 

To haul us all away 

Live out in the country 

Where the mountain's high 

Never gonna come back here 

Till the day I die

Oh, Baltimore 

Ain't it hard just to live? 

Oh, Baltimore 

Ain't it hard just to live? 

Just to live
