Paroles de The Lady Came From Baltimore

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 theif
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 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

(Original lyrics by Tim Hardin)
