Lady Came From Baltimore
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.
La dama que vino de Baltimore
La dama que vino de Baltimore,
Todo lo que llevaba era encaje.
No sabía que yo era pobre,
Nunca vio mi lugar.
Estaba allí para robar su dinero,
Tomar sus anillos y huir.
Pero me enamoré de la dama,
Y no logré llevarme nada.
El nombre de la dama era Susan Moore,
Su papá leía la ley.
Ella no sabía que yo era pobre,
Y vivía al margen de la ley.
Su papá decía que yo era un ladrón
Y no la había casado por amor.
Yo era la verdadera creencia de Susan,
Me casé con ella por amor.
Estaba allí para robar su dinero,
Tomar sus anillos y huir.
Pero me enamoré de la dama,
Y no logré llevarme nada.
La casa en la que vivía tenía un muro
Para mantener alejados a los ladrones.
Nunca se detenía a pensar
Si eso era lo que yo buscaba.
Estaba allí para robar su dinero,
Tomar sus anillos y huir.
Pero me enamoré de la dama,
Y no logré llevarme nada.
