The Baltimore Fire Lyrics

The Baltimore Fire lyrics

1: It was only through a fault and by an error 

That I heard the cry I
ever shall remember. 

The fire sent and cast its burning ember 

On
another fated city of our land. 



Ref: "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
Heaven for aid, 

While the fire in ruin was laying 

Fair Baltimore,
the beautiful city. 



2: 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. 



Ref: (then
repeat Ref)
