Recorded at home on one mic.

lyrics

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 and 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 and 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 and 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 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 and got away with none.
