Lyrics: I've gambled all around the town of Newport News

and the more I gamble, boys the more I lose!

Baltimore to Washington.

Oh Baltimore to Washington.

Oh Baltimore to Washington.

Baltimore to Washington,

I guess they got troubles too.

The hobos know me up and down the line,

they don't know the troubles 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.

Baltimore to Washington.

The po-lice know me up and down the line-

they don't know the troubles on my hands;

I guess they got troubles too.

I guess they got troubles too.

I guess they got troubles too.

I guess the po-lice they got their troubles too.

Baltimore to Washington.

Goin' up North I'm goin' North this Fall,

if my luck don't change I won't be back at all.

Baltimore to Washington.

Oh Baltimore to Washington.

Oh Baltimore to Washington.

Baltimore to Washington,

I guess they got troubles too.
