The Lady Came from Baltimore

The lady came from Baltimore and all she wore was lace

She didn't know that I was poor, she never saw my place

I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run

Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

The lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read the law

She didn't know that I was poor, and lived outside the law

Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love

But I was Susan's true belief, and I married her for love

I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run

Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

The house she lived in had a wall to keep the robbers out

She never stopped to think at all, that that's what I'm about

I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run

Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none
