Lyr Req: The Lady Came from Baltimore (Tim Hardin)

From: Pat von Schwerdtner

I remember Some of the tune, some of the words. Begins like this:

Lady came from Baltimore All she wore was lace, She didn't know that I was poor, Never saw her face.

I was sent to steal her money, Take her rings and run But I fell in love with the lady, Came away with none.

Don't know the rest of the song, but it was written and recorded by Tim Hardin (also wrote "Reason to Believe").

THE LADY CAME FROM BALTIMORE (Tim Hardin) 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 and run. 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 true belief, Married her for love.   I was there to steal her money, To take her rings and run. 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 and run. Then I fell in love with the lady, Got away with none.
