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
