STEALIN' (Remix)
(Call/Bogas)

Well, put your arms around me like a circle 'round the sun
You know I love you and you're my only one
But you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look at the hole I'm in

You know I'm Stealin'
Now I'm Stealin'
Said pretty mama don't you tell on me
'Cause I'm Stealin' back to my same old used to be

When I got out of prison, swore I'd do right by you
Oh, but pretty babe, look what I had to go and do
But you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look at the hole I'm in

You know I'm Stealin'
Well I'm Stealin'
And pretty mama don't you tell on me
Oh, 'cause I'm Stealin' back to my same old used to be

You don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
(you know you really don't believe me)
You don't believe I'm sinking
I wanted to buy you pretty things
But I don't have nobody so I went Stealin'

And pretty mama don't you tell on me
Oh, 'cause I'm a-stealin' back to my same old used to be

I went and stole for you mama, I shot somebody, too
Now the man is on my trail, and you know I come straight to you
He'll be asking if you've seen me, and he'll have a look around
Just remember if they catch me, they're gonna put me in the ground

So pretty mama don't you tell on me
Oh, 'cause I'm a-stealin' back to my same old used to be
Ooh
Ooh
Oh, no
Ooh

MR. MOON (Remix)
(Call)

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man
He pull the ocean upon the land
And makes men tell their women lies
When he comes over the rise

I was strolling through the town
That big old moon was a-smiling down
I had a bottle in my hand
Oh, that night was a'looking grand

I ran into this girl I know
And we talked, oh, soft and low
Then we went out for a ride
My blood was boiling like the tide

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man
He pull the oceans upon the land
He make men tell their women lies
When he comes over the rise

Now it's late and she has to go
She said "Be there," and I said, "Well I show"
Tommorow's sun shine upon the world
And I forget my little girl

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man
Pull the ocean upon the land
Makes men tell their women lies
When he come over the rise

Mr. Moon
Mr. Moon
Mr. Moon

ROUTE 66
(Troup)

Well, if you ever plan to motor west
Try taking my way, that's the highway that's the best
And get your kicks
On Route 66

Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
Only 2 thousand miles all the way
Hey get your kicks
On Route 66

Well it goes from St. Louie, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks, oh, so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, and Gallup, New Mexico;
Flagstaff, Arizona; don't forget Winona; Kingman; Barstow; San
Bernardino

If you get into this kind of tale
When you take that California trip
Hey get your kicks
On Route 66

Come on, boy!

Well it goes from St. Louie, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks, oh, so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, and Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona; don't forget Winona; Kingman; Barstow; San
Bernardino

If you ever plan to motor west
Try taking my way, that's the highway that's the best
And get your kicks
On Route 66
And get your kicks
On Route 66

Hey get your kicks
On Route 66
