The seed of distrust it will sow

SPOKEN 
C 
Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time 
F 
And she stopped and I knew right away 
      G7          F 
That gossip not flowers she had on her mind

And my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path

C 
And the child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, she said 
F 
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet 
G7                           F 
And I covered the crushed broken body and said, 
C 
Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street
