[Lyric] Let That Liar Alone (Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard)

[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wan' get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone

[Verse 1]
Well, let me tell you people what a liar'll do
He's always comin' with somethin' new
Steal your heart with a false pretense
Make out like he's your bosom friend

[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone

[Verse 2]
When a liar takes a notion to defеnd and prove
He'll lay around his neighbor to gеt the news
Nearly every day when you look out
You can see that liar comin' to your house
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone

[Verse 3]
He'll tell you such a lie to surprise your mind
Mix a little truth for to make it shine
When he finds out you believe what he say
Then that liar's gonna have his way

[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone

[Verse 4]
When everything is in perfect peace
Here comes that liar with his deceit
When he gets his business fixed just right
Then that liar's gonna cause a fight

[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone
[Verse 5]
Well, he makes that lie [?] so well
Everything he hears, he must come and tell
"Let me tell you, sister, if you wanna hear
What a certain somebody said about you"
He studied up a lie, tell it so smooth
And you think absolutely, that it must be true
He'll urge you out to trace the tale
And if you don't mind, you'll be put in jail
A hypocrite, a liar, both kicks up a fuss
Both very bad but a liar's worse

[Chorus]
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna to get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone
Friends, you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
If you don't wanna get in trouble
You'd better let that liar alone
