I scandalized my brother
|
While admittin' that he sang some pretty songs (and he did)
|
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me
|
And, Lord, I knew that that was wrong (and I was)
|
Now I'm lookin' at it over
|
Something cool and feelin' 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 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 songs
|
|
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 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 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 songs
|

|
I know that it sounds silly
|
But I think that I just stole somebody's song
