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 saved by a girl lyin' still. 

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, 

"Oh, was is that brave girl so sweet?" 

I covered the crushed, broken body and said, 

"The bad girl who lives down the street."
