Stonecutters Cut It On Stone
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Cameron Mitchell
and multiple other artists



I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man is doomed to weep and wail

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good"

My mother used to say to me "When you grow up, my son
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'cause a good man ain't no fun"

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good"

Tain't so!, 'tis, too!
Tain't so!, 'tis, too!

I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with any man
Is doomed to weep and wail

The clock just ticks your life away, there's no relief in sight
It's "cook" and it's "scrub" and it's "sewin' all day" and "not much sleep that night"

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man whose bad Or good"
