The weevils all took to cotton and cows all took to dry
|
But the varmints left behind, some took up to die
|
Trouble took to Daddy like dew drops take to night
|
Mama took to cryin' a lot and Daddy took to wine
|
|
And I took a train outta there
|
I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help, maybe
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
|
Flowers took to Daddy and Daddy, he took to calm
|
Sister took to black wheel nights and Mama cried alone
|
Brother, he took up preaching and the bank man took the farm
|
They came and took my mom away, she can't do herself no harm
|
|
And I took a train outta there
|
I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help, maybe
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
Heaven help the tie that binds a family
|
|
The weevils all took to cotton and cows all took to dry

Trouble took to Daddy like dew drops take to night
|
Mama took to cryin' a lot and Daddy took to wine
|
|
And I took a train outta there
|
I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help handy
|
Looks like even God can't save the family
|
Looks like only God can save the family
|
|
And I took a train outta there
|
I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help handy
|
Looks like only God can save the family
|
Looks like only God can save the family

And I took a train outta there

Looks like even God can't save the family

Looks like only God can save the family
|
|
And I took a train outta there, you hear me
|
I told the engineer I don't believe there's no help handy
|
Looks like even God can't save the family
|
Looks like even God can't save the family
|
|
Looks like only God can save the family
|
Looks like only God can save the family

Looks like only God can save the family

Looks like only God can save the family
