Intro

 

Verse 1

I scandalized my brother
While admitting that he sang some pretty songs
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
And Lord, I knew that that was wrong
Well, I'm looking at it over somethin' cool
And feeling fool enough to see
What I had called my brother on
Now he had every right to call on me

Chorus

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song

Verse 2

I found a wounded brother
Drinkin' bitterly away the afternoon
And soon enough he turned on me
Like he'd done every face in that saloon
Well, we cussed him to the ground
And said he couldn't even steal a decent song
But as soon as it was spoken
We was sad enough to wish that we were wrong

Chorus

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune
That picker there's in trouble boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song
I know that it sounds silly
But I think that I just stole somebody's song

Outro

She's a good hearted woman
In love with a good kind of man
And she loves him in spite of the way
That she don't understand
After tear drops and laughters
They've passed through this world hand in hand
She's a good hearted woman
In love with a good kind of man
