Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw
Recorded by Hank Williams 
Written by Bonnie Dodd   

F                                 C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
    F                         C
The seeds of distrust it will sow
    F                                      C
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
              G7              C
Be careful of stones that you throw

Spoken: 
                          F
A neighbor was passing my garden one time
C                             G7
She stopped and I knew right away 
                                              C
That it was gossip not flowers she had on her mind 
                   G7                C
And this is what I heard my neighbor say
 
                          F
That girl down the street should be run from our midst
C                                G7
She drinks and she talks quite a lot 
                                         C
She knows not to speak to my child or to me 
                 G7           C
My neighbor then smiled and I thought      
 
Repeat #1
 
Spoken: 
                         F
A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes
C                           G7
A sound that made my blood chill
                                                     C
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
               G7         C
And saved by a girl lying still
 
                            F
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out        
C                              G7
Oh  who was that brave girl so sweet
                                      C
I covered the crushed broken body and said
                 G7             C
The bad girl who lived down the street
 
Repeat #1
