No Milk And Honey In Baltimore
Buck Owens
Album ? I Wouldn't Live In New York City
Capo 1 (Recorded In G#)

G C G
We left the farm twas early one morn'
D7
Determined we'd be back no more
G C G
My wife had an uncle that worked ever day
D7 G
In a nut and bolt factory up in Baltimore

C G
The day we arrived to start our new life
D7
Our big dreams had started to soar
G C G
I got me a job a carrying
D7 G
Breathing the smog of old Baltimore

C G
That dirt it was black and the work hurt my back
D7
And I swore I could do it no more
G C G
Yes I thought I'd die from the sun in the sky
D7 G
Things would get better here in Baltimore

C G
The next thing I knew my wife took the flu
D7
And the doctor bills soon made us poor
G C G
And to make ends meet I started to sweep
D7 G
Those dirty old streets up in Baltimore

C G
The smell of the bay the buildings of gray
D7
Was more than I bargained for
G C G
If I had my way I'd go home today
D7 G
For there's no milk and honey here in Baltimore

D7 G
For there's no milk and honey here in Baltimore
