Tim Hardin - The Lady Came From Baltimore lyrics

[Intro] The lady came from Baltimore and all she wore was lace She didn't know that I was poor, she never saw my place [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] [Outro] Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none
