Tattler's Wagon

Once I had a tattlers wagon which

Behind me I did pull

Just as fast as I could empty it

Some friend would fill it full

By and by I got so busy there was little else to do

But still I'd meet the saints and sing

I'm going through Jesus I'm going through

Well I was going through and tattling as I went

But going through like that you know

Isn't worth a cent

I'd talk about my neighbors they'd give me tattles too

Then we'd go to church and sing

I believe Jesus saves and His blood

Washes whiter than snow

If someone testifies and prays some

Good sister doubts

And others have no confidence when a

Certain party shouts

If someone hears a little lie for some good reason told

He loads his wagon up and sings

When we all see Jesus we will sing

And shout the victory

We pack our wagons up and get another load

And just as soon as we could go we’d

Start on Tattlers road

And when we met a passer by we’d stop and spread it’s do

And dump the poison out and sing

Makes me love everybody makes me love everybody

Makes me love everybody it’s good enough for me

Oh the thing that we should do is smash

Those wagons now

And each one bridle his own tongue and

Stop this thing somehow

Let's stop this awful tattling let's bring it to an end

And we can go to church and sing

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on

That beautiful shore
