Steve Mardon lyrics : "The Capo Song (she Stole My Capo Then She"

Came home from the show, way I always do
18 dollars and a broken string or two
Then I recalled the singer from the evening's final act

Borrowed my capo and never gave it back

She stole my capo, then she stole my heart

She knew it was something I would miss
I lost the cheater's way of playin' my part
But I found the key to happiness


I saw her six weeks later at a Christmas jamboree
I said, ?Hey, you're the little thief who's got my property?

She said, ?I knew you'd find me here, at least that was my plan --
I know it sounds peculiar but I hope you'll understand?


She reached into her pocket, for a moment time stood still
I saw a flash of silver, it gave me such a thrill


She stole my capo, then she stole my heart
She knew it was something I would miss
I lost the cheater's way of playin' my part

But I found the key to happiness

I drove her back to her house, she asked me if I'd come in

She took out her guitar and started softly strummin'
We spent the whole night singin' sad old country songs
Now I believe my capo is right where it belongs


She stole my capo, then she stole my heart
She knew it was something I would miss

I lost the cheater's way of playin' my part
But I found the key to happiness
