The Lady Came From Baltimore

The lady cam from Baltimore

all she wore was lace

she didn't know that I was poor

she never saw my face

I was sent to steal her money

take her rings and run

but I fell in love with the lady

came away with none

The lady's name was Suzanne Moore

her daddy read her law

she didn't know that I was poor

livin' outside the law

I was sent to steal her money

take her rings and run

but I fell in love with the lady

came away with none

Her daddy said I was a thief

and didn't have her love

but I (that?) was Suzanne's true belief

I married her for love

I was sent to steal her money

take her rings and run

but I fell in love with the lady

came away with none

The way she lived in

to keep the robbers out

she never stop to think it all

that's what I'm about

I was sent to steal her money

take her rings and run

but I fell in love with the lady

came away with none
