The Lady Came From Baltimore

Lyrics: Tim Hardin
Music: Tim Hardin

Sung by the New Riders of the Purple Sage in their early days in 1969.

The lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my face

Chorus
I was there 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

[chorus]

Her daddy said, I was a thief
And didn't marry her for love
I was Susan's true belief
I married her for love

[chorus]

The house she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out
She'd never stop to think at all
That's what I might be about

[chorus]
I fell in love with the lady
Came away with none
