Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw Lyrics by The Staple Singers

Amen!

0

[Intro]
(So be careful of stones that you throw)
[Chorus]
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it's low
So unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones that you throw
[Verse 1]
A neighbor was passin' my garden one time
She stopped and I knew right away
That it was gossip, not flowers she had on her mind
And this is what I heard my neighbor say
'You know that girl down the street
Should be run from our midst, she drinks & talks quite a lot
She knows not to speak to my child and me.'
My neighbor then smiled and I thought
[Chorus]
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it's low
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
[Verse 2]
Just then a car speeded by in the screamin' of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been
Pulled from the path and saved by a girl lyin' 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
'The bad girl who lived down the street.'
[Outro]
So unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones that you throw
