"The Lady Came from Baltimore" (sometimes shown as "Lady Came from Baltimore") is a song written by American singer-songwriter Tim Hardin, who recorded and released it as a track on his album Tim Hardin 2 in 1967. The song was inspired by Hardin's relationship with his wife, Susan Yardley Morss, who acted under the name Susan Yardley and who came from a prosperous family in Baltimore who disapproved of the relationship; Hardin's lyrics refer to "Susan Moore". [1] [2]
The song was recorded by Bobby Darin, before Hardin's own version had been released. Darin's recording reached number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1967. [3] Other artists who recorded the song included Joan Baez, from her album "Joan" (1967), and Scott Walker, on his debut solo album Scott. [4] [5] The song was also performed by Bob Dylan on tour in 1992 and 1994. [6]
