Porter Wagoner - Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw lyrics

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...

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...
