Family Tree

Lord, Lord

Please don't tell

Don't tell, don't tell

Lord, Lord

Please don't tell

Don't tell, don't tell

I'll tell you what I did

My brother's on the railroad tracks

Looking at the golden leaves

Cabel tied around his hand and knees

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Down

Lord, Lord

Please don't tell

Don't tell, don't tell

Lord, Lord

Please don't tell

Don't tell, don't tell

I'll tell where my Daddy's been

All deep into the still of the night

Burns his candel into the whisky of sin

Momma's been broken all over again

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Down

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Down

And what my Lord what is the lifespan of a tree?

My Lord

(The devil only knows)

And how long must I spend down on my knees

My Lord

(The devil only knows)

I crawled all through all the cracks and the bottels

I crawled through all the cracks

I spilt my blood at the foot of the alter

And then I broke my back

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Right back into the ground

And my family tree

It goes straight

Down
