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. |
|
I was Susan's true belief |
|
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 |
|
Got away with none. |
|
The house she lived in had a wall |
|
To keep the robbers out. |
|
She'd never stop to think at all |
|
If 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 |
