Family by Hues Corporation Lyrics
We as took to cotton, an the cows all took to dry
What the varmints left behind, some took up to die
Trouble took to Daddy, like dew drops take to night
Mama took to crying a lot, an Daddy took to wine
An I took the train out of there
I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
Heaven help the tie that binds the family
Sister took to walking, an Brother he took to crying
Mama took up new found faith, and I took up with crime
Hatred took the night time, and the government took the day
What the hands refused to do, Sister learned for pay
An I took the train out of there
I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
Looks like only God can save the family
(Key Change)
Flowers took to Daddy, and Daddy took to God
Sister took to black mill nights, an Mama cried alone
Brother took up preaching, and the bank man took the farm
The state came an took Mom away, so she can do no harm

And I took the train out of there
I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
Heaven help the tie that binds the family
And I took the train out of there
I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
Looks like even God can’t save the family…
