| | | Artist: | LYLE LOVETT |

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
And now as I lie
upon my bed
I pray I must be dreaming
With faces all around my head
And strangers at my
door
And a woman's voice calls out to me
Bring unto you your children
And let them
see these things you see
And hear the words you say
Beg them to go to Baltimore
And
leave you where you're lying
Just like you did one time before
When you were
twenty-one
And if they go to Baltimore
Then I'll see you in heaven
And as they
breathe you'll breathe no more
And you will surely die
And I know I've seen this place
before
Lord can't you hear me screaming
And if I should awaken Lord
Then answer me my
plea
What makes the sun set in the west
And birds fly in the sky
And what makes a
woman beat her breast
When her children start to cry
And what makes those little ones
grow old
To find eternity
