Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw - Little Jimmy Dickens

作词：B Dodd

作曲：B Dodd

A neighbor was passing my garden

One time

She stopped and I knew right away

Tha gossip's not flowers

She had on her mind

And this is what I heard her say:

That girl down the street

She should be run from our midst

She drinks and

She talks quite a lot

She knows not to speak

To my child nor to me

My neighbor then smiled

And I thought

A tongue can accuse

And carry bad news

The seeds of distrust it will sow

So unless you have

Made no mistakes in life

Be careful of stones that you throw

The car speeded by

And the screaming of brakes

A scream that made my blood chill

My neighbor's one child

Had been pulled from the path

And saved by a girl lying still

Her child was unhurt

And my neighbor cried out

Oh who was that

Brave girl so sweet

I covered the crushed

Broken body and said

That bad girl laid down the street

A tongue can accuse

And carry bad news

The seeds of distrust it will sow

But unless you have

Made no mistakes in life

Be careful of stones that you throw
