Cash Johnny The Lady Came From Baltimore lyrics

Written by Tim Hardin.
( Alley Music/Trio Music.)
From `John R. Cash`, 1974, Columbia Records.

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.
