The lady cam from Baltimore All she wore was lace She didn't know that I was poor She never saw my face I was sent to steal her money Take her rings and run But I fell in love with the lady Came away with none  The lady's name was Suzanne Moore Her daddy read her law She didn't know that I was poor Livin' outside the law I was sent to steal her money Take her rings and run But I fell in love with the lady Came away with none  Her daddy said I was a thief And didn't have her love But I was Suzanne's true belief I married her for love I was sent to steal her money Take her rings and run But I fell in love with the lady Came away with none  The way she lived behind a wall To keep the robbers out She never stop to think it all That's what I'm about I was sent to steal her money Take her rings and run But I fell in love with the lady Came away with none

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui, sous prétexte de vouloir voler une femme riche, finit par tomber amoureux d'elle. Il se décrit comme un voleur, mais son intention initiale de prendre son argent se transforme en un amour sincère pour elle. Malgré les circonstances de leur rencontre et les obstacles, notamment l'opposition du père de la jeune femme, il choisit l'amour plutôt que l'argent. L'intrigue se déroule dans un contexte où les classes sociales sont marquées, et où les préjugés sur la pauvreté et la richesse jouent un rôle central. Le protagoniste, qui se sent attiré par la jeune femme, lui fait face avec une perspective romantique, montrant que l'amour véritable peut émerger même des situations les plus inappropriées.
