Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw

Hank Williams

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, Continue to play F, C, and G7):

A neighbor was passing my garden one time.

She stopped and I knew right away,

That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind.

And this is what I heard my neighbor say,

"That girl down the street should be run from our midst,

She drinks and she talks quite a lot.

She knows not to speak to my child or to me."

My neighbor then smiled, and I thought..

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.

(Also spoken, play same chords as well):

A car speeded by, and the screaming 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 lyin' still.

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out,

"Oh, was is that brave girl so sweet?"

I covered the crushed, broken body and said,

"The bad girl who lives down the street."

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.
