I scandalize my brother while admittin' that he sings some purty songs, and he does
A7 D Dsus4 D
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizin' me and Lord I knew that that was wrong, and it was
D G G/F# G
Now I'm lookin' at it older, somethin' cool and feelin' fool enough to see
A7 D
What I had called my brother on now he had every right to call on me
D G
Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
A7 D
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
A7 D
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
B7 E Esus4 E
And soon enough he turned on me like he'd done every face in that saloon, yes he did
E A Asus2 A
Well we cussed him to the ground and said he couldn't even steal a decent song
B7 E
But soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong
CHORUS:
E A
Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
B7 E
That picker there in trouble boy ain't nothin' but another side of you
E A
And if we ever get to Heaven boys it ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
B7 E
We're in this gig together so let's settle down at steal each other's songs
B7 E Esus4 E
I know that it sounds silly but I think that I just stole somebody's song
(SPOKEN over E)
