 G              D             C                G
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
G             D                   C                  G
I was sent 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

the lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read her law
she didn't know that I was poor, livin' outside the law
Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love
But I was Suzanne's true belief and I married her for love

Em            D                C                     G
I was sent 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

The house she lived in had a wall to keep the robbers out
D                    A                 B7                E
She never stopped to think it all that that's what I'm about
A             E                   D                  A
I was sent to steal her money, to take her rings and run
