Lyrics Ever Since I Stole The Blues - Mose Allison

Well have you heard the latest
Are you in the know?
Its in the morning papers and its on the radio
It's even going to make the TV news:
White boy steals the blues

Well you can wake up in the morning
And they won't be tumbling down
Your woman can leave you
And they won't be coming round
Don't even have to pay those dues
Ever since I stole the blues

Well down in the Delta
And on the South Side
All the players digging Charlie Pride
They even closin' down the barbecue
Ever since I stole the blues

Well the Blues police down in Dixieland
Tried to catch me with the goods on hand
They broke down my door but I was all smiles
I had already shipped them to the British Isles
Did wonders for their revenue
Ever since I stole the blues
Since the white booooooy stole the blues
