Be Careful of Stones That You Throw 歌詞
Be Careful of Stones That You Throw - "Little" Jimmy Dickens
A neighbor was passing my garden one time
She stopped and I knew right away
That 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 speeded by
And the screaming of brakes
A scream 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 bad girl that lived 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
