The lady's name was Susan Moore, Her daddy read the law. She never knew that I was poor, And lived outside the law.
Her daddy said, I was a thief Never married her for love. It was Susan's true belief I married her for love. I was there to take her money, Steal her rings and run. Then I fell in love with the lady, got away with none. [1 verse/refrain interlude]
Outside her house there was a wall To keep the robbers out. She'd never stop to think at all If that's what I'm about.
I was there to take her money, Steal her rings and run. Then I fell in love with the lady, got away with none.
