The Lady Came From Baltimore Songtext
von Johnny Cash

The lady came from Baltimore and 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, to take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady and 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
But I was Susan's true belief, and I 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 and got away with none

The house she lived in had a wall to keep the robbers out
She never stopped to think at all, that that′s what I′m about
I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none
