Lyrics
The Lady Came From Baltimore
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The lady came from Baltimore and 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, to take her rings and run.
Then I fell in love with the lady and 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, 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.
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.
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none.
