Be Careful of Stones That You Throw Lyrics
Be Careful of Stones That You Throw - Little Jimmy Dickens
Written by：Bonnie Dodd
A neighbor was passing my garden
One time
She stopped and I knew right away
Tha gossip's not flowers
She had on her mind
And this is what I heard her 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 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 have
Made no mistakes in life
Be careful of stones that you throw
A car speeding by
And the screaming of brakes
A scream that mad 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 bad girl let laid down the street
A tongue can accuse
And carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you have
Made no mistakes in life
Be careful of stones that you throw
