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 passing 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."
