Hues Corporation - 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… ---
