Hank Williams - Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw lyrics

Recorded by hank williams, sr. Written by bonnie dodd Chorus A [f] tongue can accuse and carry bad [c] news The [f] seeds of distrust, it will [c] sow But [f] unless you've made no mistakes in your [c] life Be careful of [g7] stones that you [c] throw. (spoken) [c] a neighbor was pa**ing my [f] garden one time [c] she stopped and i knew right away [g7] That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind [c] And this is what i heard my neighbor say: [c] "that girl down the street [f] should be run from our midst [c] she drinks and she talks quite a lot [g7] She knows not to speak to my child or to me." [c] My neighbor then smiled and i thought: Chorus (spoken) A car speeded by and the screamin' of brakes A sound that made my blood chill For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path And saved by a girl lying still. The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out: "oh! who was that brave girl so sweet?" I covered the crushed, broken body and said: "the bad girl who lived down the street." Chorus
