Don't Cuss The Fiddle

Lyrics

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
 Tag:
 ♪
 I know that it sounds silly
 But I think that I just stole somebody's song
 ♪
 Don Williams? Williams - Hank Williams? Harlan?
