Mistreating Yarn Blues

Hear the version from 'Circumstantial Evidence":

This is a 12-bar blues in G.

Well, I went into the yarn store, happy as I could be.
I went into the yarn store, happy as I could be.
The next thing you know, the yarn store owner is shaking me.

Well, they got me arrested, the charge of mistreating yarn.
Well, they got me arrested, charge of mistreating yarn.
Now maybe I touched some but I sure didn't mean no harm!

Now before you accuse me, take a look at yourself!
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself—
You're taking all of this pretty yarn and hiding it on some dusty shelf.

Well, the judge sentenced me, ten years in that Cranston pen.
Yeah, the judge sentenced me, ten years in that Cranston pen.
It would have been ninety-nine, but that yarn was just Lion Brand.
