Artist/Band: Hank Williams Sr.
Lyrics for Song: Be Careful of Stones That You Throw
Lyrics for Album: A Proper Introduction to Hank Williams: The Final [2004]



(Bonnie Dodd)



A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

The seeds of distrust it will sow

But unless you've made no mistakes in your life

Be careful of stones that you throw.



A neighbor was passing my garden one time

She stopped and I knew right away

That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind

And this is what I heard my neighbor say.



That bad girl down the street should be run from our midst

She drinks and she talks quite a lot

She knows not to speak to me or my child

My neighbor then smiled and I thought.



A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes

A sound that made my blood chill

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

And saved by a girl lying still.



The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out

Oh, who was that brave girl so sweet

I covered the crushed broken body and said

The bad girl who lived down the street...


Be Careful of Stones That You Throw

Hank Williams Sr.'s 'Be Careful of Stones That You Throw' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in country storytelling. Recorded during the height of his career, the track exemplifies his signature blend of acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a melancholic vocal delivery that cut through the air with emotional precision. The song explores themes of regret and the consequences of careless actions, a narrative central to Williams's body of work. Released on 'A Proper Introduction to Hank Williams: The Final,' this recording captures the raw intensity of his live performances and studio sessions alike. It remains a staple in the canon of American country music, illustrating how Williams transformed simple folk tales into enduring anthems that continue to resonate with audiences decades later.
