Don't Cuss The Fiddle Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

I scandalized my brother 

While admittin' that he sang some pretty songs (and he did) 

I'd heard that he'd been scandalizing me 

And Lord, I knew that that was wrong (and I was) 

Now I'm lookin' at it over 

Something cool and feelin' fool enough to see 

What I had called my brother on 

Now he had every right to call on me

[Chorus:] 

Don't ever cuss that fiddle, boy 

Unless you want that fiddle out of tune 

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 

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 

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

[Chorus] 

I know that it sounds silly 

But I think that I just stole somebody's song 

Don Williams? Williams... Hank Williams? Harlan?
