Family Tree Lyrics

Sit down young grandson come close so I don't yell

Now that I'm on my deathbed there's a story I gotta tell

About a beautiful young girl 19 years old

For 51 winters her body's been cold

I met her in September and I married her in May

A perfect christian couple is what grandma used to say

You know we loved Jesus and we thanked him everyday

I thanked him for my lady and our little boy Clay

Now Colton was a bitter man he loved my lady too

I told him he should move along there's nothing to pursue

He smiled and he said you're right there's nothing left to say

Then my little boy and his ma disappeared the next day

Colton wrote me a letter he said you should forget her

Your kind of man don't deserve her love

Should have seen your boy cry as he watched his mama dieBargain Music - Family Tree - http://motolyrics.com/bargain-music/family-tree-lyrics.html

At least your boy didn't cry long

So I yelled up to Jesus what the hell do I do

For you to let this happen I'm not through with you

So I searched through the mountains I went to every home

One night in some cabin I found Colton alone

The dim moonlight was on my side

For I didn't get noticed as I broke inside

As I pulled out my knife I thought of my boy and my wife

And whispered their names as I took his life

So there you go grandson that's your family tree

A grandma and an uncle you will never get to see

Realize that them dying allowed you to live

And the moral of this story is don't forget and forgive

Always remember don't forget and don't forgive
