"Them Dance Hall Girls"
(A. Fraser)

These dance hall girls, will treat you kind
They give you their bodies, but you'll never reach their minds
They fill you up with lipstick lies
When they put you down, son, don't be surprised
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

I held her mountains, I've kissed her plains
Touched her sunshine, and I drank her rain
I went so far, that I broke too fast
Thought I had a winner picked, but I came in last... again
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

I must have chosen the wrong season to come down
I never realized they call this sacred ground
My sense of time, hell I'm week behind
I sent a letter home but this all takes time, you know

I wanna get some money, I wanna go back home
These dance hall girls really know how to make a man feel alone (all alone)
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

My sense of time, hell I'm week behind
They give you their bodies, but you'll never reach their minds
They fill you up with lipstick lies
These dance hall girls they say they can't stand to see a grown man cry
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

Tell me, I wanna know
Is this the way it always is here in Montreal?
