A tongue can accuse,
and carry bad news
A seed of distrust it will sow
But unless you have made
No mistakes in your life,
be careful of stones that you throw.
Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden
one time and she stopped and I knew right
away that gossip not flowers she had on
her mind and this is what I heard her say
she said you know that girl
down the street
David
Allen she should be run
from our midst why she drinks
an d she talks quite a lot
well she knows not to speak to my child or
to me and my neighbor then smiled and
A tongue can accuse,
and carry bad news
A seed of distrust it will sow
But unless you have made
no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes,
a screaming that made my blood chill
and my neighbor's one child had been pulled
from the path and saved by a girl that was
lying still and the child was unhurt and
my neighbor cried out she said oh who
was that brave girl so sweet
I covered the crushed broken body and
said why that was that bad girl that
lived down the street
A tongue can accuse,
and carry bad news
The seed of distrust it will sow
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life,
be careful of stones that you throw.
