I've gambled down in the town of Newport News
The more I gamble, boys, the more I lose
Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
I guess they got troubles too

Well, the hobos know me up and down the line
They don't know the trouble on my mind
I guess they got troubles too
I guess they got troubles too, boys
I guess they got troubles too
I guess they got troubles too, boys
From Baltimore to Washington

And the police know me up and down the line
They don't know the trouble on my hands
I guess they got troubles too
I guess they got trouble too, boy
I guess they got troubles too
I guess the police they got their troubles too
From Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington
I guess they've got troubles too

Going up north and goin' north this fall
If my luck don't change I won't be back at all
From Baltimore to Washington
Oh, Baltimore to Washington, boys
Baltimore to Washington
Baltimore to Washington
I guess they got troubles too
