Joan Baez - The Lady Came from Baltimore

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
