The weevils took the cotton and cows all took to dry What the varmints left behind, the sun took up to drying 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 Heaven, help the tie that binds a family
Sister took to walking, and brother took to crack Momma took up with newfound friends, and I took up with crime Hatred took the nighttime and the government took the day Can't find no hands at the harvest time and the hens refuse to lay
And I took a train outta there I told the engineer, I don't believe there's no help, handy Heaven, help the tie that binds a family
Flowers took to daddy and daddy, took to gone Sister took to black real nights and mama cried alone Brother, he took up preaching and the bank man took the farm The state came in and took my mama away, and she couldn't do herself no harm
And I took a train outta there I told the engineer, I don't believe there's no help, handy Heaven, help the tie that binds a family Heaven, help the tie that binds a familyTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
