It was only through a fault and by an error
That I heard a cry I ever shall remember
The fire sent and cast it's burning embers
On another faded city of our land.

Chorus:

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 aide
While the fire in ruins was laying
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

Chorus
