The Lady Came from Baltimore

Joan Baez

The lady cam from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my faceI was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with nonethe lady's name was Suzanne Moore
Her daddy read her law
She didn't know that I was poor
Livin' outside the lawI was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with noneher daddy said I was a thief
And didn't have her love(?)
But I (that?) was Suzanne'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 nonethe way she lived in ?
To keep the robbers out
She never stop to think it all
That's what I'm aboutI was sent to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
