"The Lady Came From Baltimore" lyrics

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
