Nina Simone - The Family lyrics

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

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 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

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

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, 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
