I know I've seen this place before
Lord, can't you hear me screaming?
As a young man long ago
When I was twenty-one
And I know I've seen this house before
With people all around it
With my baby cousin on the floor
And Mama in the kitchen
And a woman lies upon the bed
I think she must be dying
And I recall the words she said
As she began to cry
She begged, "Son, please don't go to Baltimore
And leave me where I'm lying
For you will, son, but I no more
Walk among the living"
"And if you go to Baltimore
Then I'll see you in heaven
And as you breathe, I'll breathe no more
And I will surely die"
Well you know I went to Baltimore
So confident and wise
And as I breathed, she breathed no more
And she did surely die
Lord, can't you hear me screaming?
As a young man long ago
When I was twenty-one
And I know I've seen this house before
With people all around it
With my baby cousin on the floor
And Mama in the kitchen
And a woman lies upon the bed
I think she must be dying
And I recall the words she said
As she began to cry
She begged, "Son, please don't go to Baltimore
And leave me where I'm lying
For you will, son, but I no more
Walk among the living"
"And if you go to Baltimore
Then I'll see you in heaven
And as you breathe, I'll breathe no more
And I will surely die"
Well you know I went to Baltimore
So confident and wise
And as I breathed, she breathed no more
And she did surely die
