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
