Lyrics for The Lady Came From Baltimore

Lady came from Baltimore All she wore was lace Didn't know that I was poor She never saw my place I was there to steal the money Take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady Got away with none Lady's name was Susan Moore Daddy was the law Didn't know that I was poor And lived outside the law Daddy said I was a thief Didn't have the love But I was Susan's true belief Married her for love I was there to steal the money Take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady Got away with none Now she lived and built a wall To keep the robbers out Didn't care a thing at all That's what I'm about I was there to steal the money Take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady Got away with none Then I fell in love with the lady Got away with none
