lyrics

She was a low-down, no good, snake in the grass
breathing fire and drinking from a stolen flask
but I shot her in the chest and I watched her die
won't say I'm sorry and I never will cry

O, Mother, don't you know that the devil reaps all the seeds you sow
O, Daddy, can't you see that the bottom's hidden when the well is deep

I was a slave to the woman for seven years
Tending vines in her garden of blood and tears
But she taught me well how to make things bleed
And she never saw it coming when it came from me

(chorus)

How the sins of a father will haunt their child
In a whiskey halo or a lonely smile
but when family resemblance rears its head
you can dig it up or you can bury it dead

(chorus)
