I did an excite.com search and it popped up at the top of the list (a rare occurrence for me). Here 'tis.
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.
That fourth verse looks a little suspect, it doesn't scan well. Back to my search, not everything on the Net is true!
