John Vanderslice - My Family Tree Lyrics

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
