The lady came from Baltimore, and all she wore was lace
C                    G           A7               D
She didn't know that I was poor, she never saw my place
Em             D                   C                  G 
I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run
C              G                      D             G    G
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

Verse 2:
    G               D                C              G 
The lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read the law
C                    G           A7               D
She didn't know that I was poor and lived outside the law
     G              D             C                G
Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love
C              G                 D                   G    G 
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
C              G                      D             G
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none

Verse 3:
A                      E          D                   A

D                    A                 B7                E
She never stopped to think it all that that's what I'm about

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