I Got a House in Baltimore

An optimistic folk song, "I Got a House in Baltimore" has been arranged by Dan Meyer for 4-part SATB choir with piano accompaniment.

Lyrics:

I got a house in Baltimore, oh Lord.
I got a house in Baltimore, oh Lord.
I got a house in Baltimore,
Forty dollar carpet on the floor,
Streetcar running right by the door,
Oh Lord, oh Lord.

I got no money but soon with have some, oh Lord.
I got no money but soon with have some, oh Lord.
I got no money but soon with have some,
Just you wait until the pay day come,
Spend each penny on my pretty little home,
Oh Lord, oh Lord.

I got a baby, he’s almost one, oh Lord.
I got a baby, he’s almost one, oh Lord.
I got a baby, he’s almost one,
Run home to him when the work is done,
Hold him close with the gone down sun,
Oh Lord, oh Lord.
I got a house in Baltimore.
