They caught me stealin’ sugar
They threw me in the jail
And I sent for my baby
To come and go my bail
’Cause they caught me stealin’ sugar
And he turned me down
They caught you stealin’ sugar girl
Gonna run you out of town
When I was a young girl
My ma sent me to school
I stole my teacher’s sugar
They said I broke the rules
They caught me stealin’ sugar
And they sent me home
Teacher wanted you at school
Said that’s where you belong
Now I stole a lot of sugar
From every town I know
But the sweetest sugar of them all
I know just where to go
’Cause I been stealin’ that sugar
For a mighty long long time
But they finally caught me stealin’ boys
Guess I’ll have to pay my fine
They took me to the courthouse
I got 10 years in the pen
I told that judge when I get out I’m gonna steal again
’Cause I like stealin’ that sugar
Stealin’s wrong I’m told
But I’m gonna steal a lot of sugar now before I get too old
Now I stole a lot of sugar
From every town I know
But the sweetest sugar of them all
I know just where to go
’Cause I been stealin’ that sugar
For a mighty long long time
But they finally caught me stealin’ boys
Guess I’ll have to pay my fine
