Subject: Who sings/CRD: "Baltimore" (???)

I've got a Lemonheads promo single of "It's About Time," and on it,
Evan does an amazing live version of a song called "Baltimore." It
was written by someone named Tompall Glaser, but I have no idea who
did this song first. Can anyone help?

And to aid you in this search (and justify my posting this to guitar
newsgroups), here are the words and chords:

        G               C
Well, I sold my farm to take my woman
G                   C
Where she longed to be
   D            
We left our kin and all our friends
     C              G
Back there in Tennessee
  G                    C
I bought those one-way tickets
           G               C
That she'd often begged me for
     D                              G
They took us to the streets of Baltimore

    D       
Her heart was filled with gladness
        C              G
Just to see those city lights
    G        
She swore the prettiest place on earth
                 D
Was Baltimore at night
  G                  C
A man feels proud to give his woman
G                  C
What she's longing for
      D                               G
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

  G            C
I got myself a factory job
  G            C
I ran an old machine
  D     
I bought a little cottage
     C              G
In a neighborhood serene
    G                C
And every night when I'd come home
     G            C
With every muscle sore
      D                                   G
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

  D 
I did my best to bring her back
   C                 G
To where she used to be
    G 
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
                    D
More than she loved me
         G             C
So I'm a-going back on that same train
     G                 C
That brought me here before
         D                              G
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
         D              C               G
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
