Stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't you tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be

Now, put your arms around me

Like the circle round the sun

I want ya to love me, mama

Like my easy rider done

If you don't believe I love ya

Look what a fool I've been

If you don't believe I'm sinkin'

Look what a hole I'm in

Stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't ya tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be

I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't you tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be

(jug & instrumental)

The woman I'm lovin'

She just my heigh-th and size

She's a married woman

Come to see me sometimes

If you don't believe I love you

Look what a fool I've been

If you don't believe I'm sinkin'

Look what a hole I'm in

I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't you tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be

I'm stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't you tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be

(kazoo & instrumental)

Stealin', stealin', pretty mama

Don't you tell on me

I'm stealin' back to my

Same old used to be.
