The Lady Came From Baltimore Lyrics

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 sent 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 her law
she didn't know that I was poor, livin' outside the law
Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love
But I was Suzanne's true belief and I married her for love
I was sent to steal her money, to take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none
Instrumental
Key change to A
The house she lived in had a wall to keep the robbers out
She never stopped to think it all that that's what I'm about
I was sent 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
