Strong men in anguish prayed, calling out to the heavens for aid
While the fire in ruins was laid, 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 out to the heavens for aid
While the fire in ruins was laid, fair Baltimore, the beautiful city
Amid an awful struggle of 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 out to the heavens for aid
While the fire in ruins was laid, fair Baltimore, the beautiful city
Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city |
