****************** DON T CUSS THE FIDDLE *******************

written by Kris Kristofferson

performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.


Capo on the 2nd fret.

Verse 1 (W. Nelson):
                                                                          
I scandalized my brother while admitting that he sang some pretty songs
                                                                            
I heard that he d been scandilizing me and Lord i knew that that was wrong
                                                                           
Now i m looking at over something cool and feeling fool enough to see
                                                                      
What i had called my brother,now he had every right to call on me


Chorus (W. Jennings,W. Nelson):
                                                                           
Don t ever cuss that fiddle,boy unless you want that fiddle out of tune
                                                                          
That picker there in trouble,boy ain t nothing but another side of you
                                                                              
If we ever get to Heaven,boy it ain t because we ain t done nothing wrong
                                                                                 
We re in this thing together so let settle down and steal each other s songs


Verse 2 (W. Jennings):
                                                                  
I found a wounded brother drinking 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 as soon as it was spoken we were sad enough to wish that we were wrong


Chorus.

                                                                     
I know that it sounds silly but i think that i just somebody s song


Verse 3 (W. Jennings,W. Nelson):
                                                              
She s a good hearted woman in love with a good timin  man
                                                              
She loves him in spite of my ways that she don t understand
                                                                              
Through teardrops and laughter we ll pass through this world hand in hand
                                                       
A good hearted woman in love with a good timin  man
