I scandalized my brother 
While admitting that he sang some pretty songs 
I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me 
And Lord, I knew that that was wrong. 

Now I'm looking at it over somethin' cool 
And feeling fool enough to see 
What I had called my brother on 
Now he had every right to call on me. 

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy 
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune 
That picker there's 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 song. 

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. 

Don't ever cuss that fiddle boy 
Unless you want that fiddle out of tune 
That picker there's in trouble boy 
Ain't nothin' but another side of you. 

I know that it sounds silly 
But I think that I just stole somebody's song 
She's a good timin' woman 
In love with a good two timin' man. 
And she loves him in spite of the way 
That she don't understand.
