Family Tree
Loretta Lynn
Album: Van Lear Rose (2004)

(D) Woman, you don’t know me, but you can (G) bet that I know (D) you 
Everybody in this whole darn town knows you (A) too (A7) 
I brought a-(D)-long our little babies, ‘cause I (G) wanted them to (D) see 
The woman that’s burnin’ (A) down our (A7) family (D) tree 

No I (A) didn’t come to (A7) fight 
If he was a (G) better man I (D) might 
But I (G) wouldn’t dirty my hands on trash like (A) you, no (A7
Bring (D) out the babies’ daddy, that’s (G) who they’ve come to (D) see 
Not the woman that’s burnin’ (A) down our (A7) family (D) tree 

(D) Their daddy once was a good man, until he (G) ran into trash like (D) you 
Take a look at the baby’s face and tell me who loves (A) who (A7) 
I brought a-(D)-long his old dog Charlie and the (G) bills that’s over-(D)-due  
The job you’re workin’...Lord, (A) we need (A7) money, (D) too 

No I (A) didn’t come to (A7) fight 
If he was a (G) better man I (D) might 
But I (G) wouldn’t dirty my hands on trash like (A) you, no (A7) 
Bring (D) out the babies’ daddy, that’s (G) who they’ve come to (D) see 
Not the woman that’s burnin’ (A) down our (A7) family (D) tree 
No not the woman that’s burnin’ (A) down our (A7) family tree (G) (D)
