Lady came from Baltimore, 
All she wore was lace. 
She didn't know that I was poor, 
She never saw my place. 

I was there to steal her money, 
Take her rings [bad word]  
Then I fell in love with the lady, 
Got 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. 

Her daddy said, I was a thief
And didn't marry her for love. 
I was Susan's [bad word] belief, 
Married her for love. 

I was there to steal her money, 
To take her rings [bad word]  
Then I fell in love with the lady
, Got away with none. 

The house she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out. 
She'd never stop to think at all
If that's what I'm about. 

I was there to steal her money
, Take her rings [bad word]  
Then I fell in love with the lady, 
Got away with none.
