Stole Rider Blues by Blind Willie McTell Lyrics

I'm gonna grab me a train
Ride the lonesome rail
Gonna grab me a train
Ride the lonesome rail
Liquor stole my baby
She's in the lonesome jail

He took my mama
Carried her to the town of Rome
He took my mama
Carried her to the town of Rome
Now she's screaming and crying
"Papa, let your mama come back home"

I stole my good gal
From my bosom friend
I stole my good gal
From my bosom friend
That fool got lucky
He stole her back again
That little woman I love
Got a mouth chock full of good gold
That little woman I love
Got a mouth chock full of good gold
Every time you hug and kiss me
It make my blood run cold

When you see two women
Running hand in hand
When you see two women
Running hand in hand
Bet you my last dollar
One done stole the other one's man

I'm leaving town
Please don't spread the news
I'm leaving town
Please don't spread the news
That's why I've got these old stole rider blues
