LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Family Tree

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 burnin’ 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 burnin’ down our family tree



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 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 burnin’ down our family tree

No not the woman that’s burnin’ down our family tree
