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 ?
