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
