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)
