The lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my face
I was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came 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
I was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
Her daddy said, I was a thief
And did not have her love
But I was Susan's true belief
I married her for love
I was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
The way 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 sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
