(Bonnie Dodd) A tongue can accuse and carry bad news The seeds of distrust it will sow But unless you've made no mistakes in your life Be careful of stones that you throw. A neighbor was passin' my garden one day She stopped and I knew right away That gossip not flowers she had on her mind And this is what I heard my neighbor say. You know that girl down who lived down the street She oughta be run from our midst She drinks and she talks quite a lot But 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 But unless you've made no mistakes in your life Be careful of stones that you throw. A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes A sound that made my blood chill 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 That's the bad girl that lived down the street. A tongue can accuse and carry bad news The seeds of distrust it will sow But unless you've made no mistakes in your life Be careful of stones that you throw... |
