Written by bonnie dodd

Chorus
A f> tongue can accuse and carry bad c> news
The f> seeds of distrust, it will c> sow
But f> unless youve made no mistakes in your c> life
Be careful of g7> stones that you c> throw.

(spoken)
c> a neighbor was passing my f> garden one time
c> she stopped and I knew right away g7>
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind c>
And this is what I heard my neighbor say:

c> that girl down the street f> should be run from our midst
c> she drinks and she talks quite a lot g7>
She knows not to speak to my child or to me. c>
My neighbor then smiled and I thought:

Chorus

(spoken)
A car speeded by and the screamin of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbors 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:
The bad girl who lived down the street.

Chorus
