Family

歌詞

The weebles all took the cotton And the cows all took to dry And what the varmints like behind The sun took up to die Troubles took to daddy Like dewdrops take to night Mama took to crying a lot And daddy took to wine And I took a train out of there I told the engineer, "I don't believe there's no help handy" Heaven help the ties that bind a family Sister took to walking And brother took to crying Mama took up new found friends And I took up with crying Hatred took the night time And government took the day And what the hens refused to do The sister learned for pay And I took a train out of there I told the engineer, "I don't believe there's no help handy" Seems like even God don't love the family Flowers took to daddy And daddy he took to gone Sister took to black real nice And mama cried alone Brother he took up a-preaching And the bank man, he took the farm The state came and took mama away Where she can't do herself no harm And I took a train out of there I told the engineer, "I don't believe there's no help handy" Heaven help the ties that bind a family Got up, packed up and got the Hell out of there I told the engineer, "I don't believe there's no help handy" Looks like only God can save the family And I took a train out of there I told the engineer, "I don't believe there's no help handy," oh, no, now Heaven help the ties that bind a family
