Carter Family - You Better Let That Liar Alone lyrics

Just let me tell you how a liar will do He's always coming with something new He'll steal your heart with false pretense Making out like he's your bosom friend If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble Better let that liar alone When a liar takes the notion to bend the truth He'll lay around his neighbors and get the news And nearly every day when you look out You can see that liar coming to your house If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble Better let that liar alone He'll tell you such a lie, it'll surprise your mind He'll mix a little truth for to make it shine When he gets his business fixed just right Then that liar's going to cause a fight If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble Better let that liar alone He studies up a lie, he'll tell it so smooth You'll think absolutely that it must be true And he'll urge you out for to trace the tale And if you don't mind, you'll be put in jail If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble Better let that liar alone When everything's in perfect peace Then comes that liar with his deceit A hypocrite liar both keeps up a fuss They're both very bad but a liar's the worse If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble If you don't want to get in trouble Better let that liar alone
