Текст песни Baltimore (Live) - 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 dying
And they don't know why

I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Go and get my sister Francis
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
Haul them all away

And we live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never gonna come back here
Till the day I die

I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live
