LYRICS
The lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She didn't see my face
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 lived the law
He didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Daddy said I was a thief
Didn't marry her for love
But I was Susan's true belief
Married her for love

The house she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out
She never stopped to think at all
That's what I'm about.
But I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run.
Then I fell in love with the lady
And got away with none

I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
And got away with none

I was there to steal her money
T to take her rings and run.
Then I fell in love with the lady
And got away with none
