Lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor –
She never saw my face!
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
Didn't marry her for love –
I was Susan's true belief
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 never stoped to think at all
That 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!
