Subject: Lyr Add: THE LADY CAME FROM BALTIMORE (Tim Hardin)
Lady Came From Baltimore
Tim Hardin

Lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She never knew that I was poor
She never saw my place

Chorus:
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
But I fell in love with the lady
And got away with none

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
But I was Susan's true belief
And I married her for love

Chorus

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

Chorus
