The lady came from Baltimore 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 Take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady 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
I married her for love I was there to steal her money Take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady Got away with none House she lived in had a wall To keep the robbers out She'd never stop to think at all That's what I'm about I was there to steal her 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
