Grateful Dead - Stealin'

Chance McCoy performing the song Stealin' first recorded by The Memphis Jug Band in the 1930's, later made famous by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman of The Grateful Dead. Lyrics - Put your arms around me like a circle round the sun. I wanna love you mama like my easy rider done. You don't believe I love you, but what a fool I've been. You don't believe I'm sinking but what a hole I'm in. Stealin' Stealin' pretty mama don't you tell on me, 'cause I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be. I love that girl she's just my size and height, she's a married girl come to see me sometime. You don't believe I'm sinking but what a hole I'm in. Stealin' Stealin' pretty mama don't you tell on me, 'cause I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be. I love that girl she give's me all she's got. She always gives me honey from the sweetest pot. You don't believe I'm sinking but what a hole I'm in. Stealin' Stealin' pretty mama don't you tell on me, 'cause I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be.

I always thought Bob Dylan wrote this. His was the only version I'd ever heard.
