Loretta Lynn
Family Tree
[Verse 1]
Woman, you don’t 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Their daddy once was a good man until he ran into trash like you
Take a look at the baby’s face and tell me who loves who
I brought along his old dog Charlie and the bills that’s overdue
The job you’re working, Lord, we need money too

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
No not the woman that’s burning down our family tree
