Family Tree

(Loretta Lynn)



Woman you dont know me but you can bet that I know you

Everybody in this whole darn town knows you too

I brought along our little babies 'cause I wanted them to see

The woman that's burning down our family tree.



No, I didn't come to fight if he was a better man I might

But I wouldn't dirty my hands on trash like you, no

Bring out the babies, daddy that's who they've come to see

Not the woman that's burning down our family tree.

Their daddy once was a good man until he ran into trash like you

Take a look at baby's face and tell me who loves who

I brought along his ole dog Charlie and the bills that's overdue

The job your workin' Lord, we need money too.



No, I didn't come to fight if he was a better man I might

But I wouldn't dirty my hands on trash like you, no

Bring out the babies, daddy that's who they've come to see

Not the woman that's burning down our family tree.
