Baltimore Fire lyrics

Strong men in anguish prayed

Calling loud to the heavens for aid

While the fire in ruins was layin'

Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city

It was on a silver falls by a narrow

That I heard the cry I ever will remember

The fire set and cast its burning ember

On another fated city of our land

"Fire, fire," I heard the cry

From every breeze that passes by

All the world was one sad cry

Of pity

Strong men in anguish prayed

Calling loud to the heavens for aid

While the fire in ruins was layin'

Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city

Amid an awful struggle and commotion

The wind blew a gale from the ocean

Brave firemen struggled with devotion

But their efforts all proved in vain

"Fire, fire," I heard the cry

From every breeze that passes by

All the world was one sad cry

Of pity

Strong men in anguish prayed

Calling loud to the heavens for aid

While the fire in ruins was layin'

Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city

Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city
