John Vanderslice - My Family Tree lyrics

rate me

dad, I watched you fall

and split your head on the dock

I couldn't bear to see

a lion so meek

in the francis jay memorial wing

so I never came

my family tree is me

angela, sister near, once

stripper severe

your husband donnie

is pure fear

so I stay clear

my family tree is me

mother dear

your eyes are lost

gunpowder shot

gun tossed, there's nothing left to brood

I lost you too

my family tree is me

now I'm set free
