"My picture's in the paper, my names on the news, I'm wanted by the policemen for stealing the blues". I had a look in the database but as my wife always says I bet it was a man look not a real one. would't mind the lyrics and chords if anyone knows of it. Regards grubby |

23 Oct 09 - 12:51 PM (#2751131) Subject: Lyr Add: STEELIN' THE BLUES (Jerry Byrd) From: Jim Dixon It's a western swing tune with a pun for a title, referring to the steel guitar, which features prominently in recordings, hence the odd spelling. I suppose your audience wouldn't have to know that—if you don't have a steel guitar in your band, just call it STEALIN' THE BLUES and play it anyhow. I transcribed these lyrics from a few sound samples, so they might be incomplete: STEELIN' THE BLUES Jerry Byrd Acuff-Rose, 1949. I'm in an awful mess o' trouble Got my picture in the news I've been hidin' from policemen For stealin' the blues Been slippin' round a lot o' corners Wearin' down a pair o' shoes Gonna wind up in the jailhouse For stealin' the blues [Recorded by Jerry Byrd & the String Dusters, and by Chuck Foreman & Eddie Cochran.] |

Steelin' The Blues As Recorded by Jerry Byrd I'm in an awful mess o' trouble Got my picture in the news I've been runnin' from policemen 'cause I'm stealin' the blues Sneakin' round a lot o' corners Wearin' down a pair o' shoes Gonna wind up in the jailhouse For stealin' the blues Source: Mercury 50 Years Of Country C1 of 3 G |
