Stop Your Thievsin' Ways Lyrics

Well, old man Mosey went and robbed the country store

Emptied out his truck and then he headed back for more

Thought he had it figured out, he swore it couldn't fail

But the Polk County Sheriff came and threw his ass in jail

You better stop your thievsin' ways

You're bound to get caught

One of these days

And you'll go down

In a burning blaze

You better stop your thievsin' ways

Back in the poke Mose stole a smoke

From "Madman" Earl McCann

But Earl, he slept with one eye shut

And that's when the end began

He smiled and grabbed the knife he had

Hid underneath his bed

He hollered "no one steals from me"

And stabbed 'ol Mosey dead

You better stop your thievsin' ways

You're bound to get caught

One of these days

And you'll go down

In a burning blaze

You better stop your thievsin' ways

You better stop your thievsin' ways

You're bound to get caught

One of these days

And you'll go down

In a burning blaze

You better stop your thievsin' ways

You better stop your thievsin' ways
