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
