Scott Walker – The Lady Came From Baltimore lyrics
Lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
Didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Lady's name was Susan Moore
Daddy was the law
Didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Daddy said I was a thief
Didn't have the love
But I was Susan's true belief
Married her for love
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Now she lived and built a wall
To keep the robbers out
Didn't care a thing at all
That's what I'm about
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
All she wore was lace
Didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Lady's name was Susan Moore
Daddy was the law
Didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Daddy said I was a thief
Didn't have the love
But I was Susan's true belief
Married her for love
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Now she lived and built a wall
To keep the robbers out
Didn't care a thing at all
That's what I'm about
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
