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.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WOODY GUTHRIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
