Stealin' - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
This funny song came to life with the jug band tradition during the twenties. First known recording was with Memphis Jug Band in 1928. For some reasons, several artists recorded it in the sixties, with various lines and verses. It has now and then erroneously been credited Gus Cannon, but he never even recorded it as far as I know. These lines are taken from Arlo Guthries version on his 1969 album "Running Down the Road". This version was featured in the film "Two-Lane Blacktop".G G7 put your arms around me like a circle 'round the sun C Am7 you know I'll love you baby when my easy ridin's done G D G you don't believe I love you G D G look at the fool I've been G D G you don't believe I'm sinkin' G D G look at the hole I'm in G G7 stealin' stealin' C A7 ...A#dim pretty mama don't you tell on me Bm E7 Cmaj7 D G I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be
