BALTIMORE FIRE
Eastern American folk song
Key: E
5 -5 6 6 5 -4
It was on a sil-ver
4 5 4 -4 -3”
falls by a nar-row
4 -3” -2 -2 4
That I heard the cry
4 4 4 5 5 5 -4
I ev-er will re-mem-ber
6 6 5 -4 4
The fire sent and cast
4 -4 5 -4 -3”
its burn-ing em-bers
4 -3” -2 -2 -3 4 -4 -5
On an oth-er fat-ed cit-y
5 -4 4
Of our land
5 5 -4 4 5 6
Fire, fire, I heard the cry
5 4 4 -4 4 -3” -2 4 5
From ev-‘ry breeze that pass-es by
4 4 -4 4 -3” -2
All the world was one
3 5 5 6 6 -4
Sad cry of pi-ty
5 5 -4 4 5 6
Strong men in an-guish prayed
4 4 -4 4 -3” -2 4 5
Call-ing loud to Heav’n for aid
4 4 -4 4 -3” -2 4 5
While the fire in ruin was laying
5 6 6 -4 5 4
Fair Bal-ti-more the
-4 -4 5 -4 4
beau-ti-ful cit-y
