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
ย
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
ย
That picker there in trouble, boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
ย
If we ever get to heaven, boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
ย
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's songs
ย
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
ย
Well, we cussed him to the ground
And said he couldn't even steal a decent song
ย
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
ย
That picker there in trouble, boy
Ain't nothin' but another side of you
ย
If we ever get to heaven, boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
ย
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's songs

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