Chorus
A ( f ) tongue can accuse and carry bad ( c ) news
The ( f ) seeds of distrust, it will ( c ) sow
But ( f ) unless you've 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 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:
"The bad girl who lived down the street."
