The Lady Came From Baltimore - Scott Walker

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
