[Verse 1]
Dad, I watched you fall
And split your head on the dock
I couldn't bear to see
A lion so meek
In the Francis Jay Memorial Wing
So I never came

[Chorus]
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is—

[Verse 2]
Angela, sister near, once
Stripper severe
Your husband Donnie
Is pure fear
So I stay clear

[Chorus]
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is—

[Verse 3]
Mother dear
Your eyes are lost
Gunpowder shot
Gun tossed, there's nothing left to brood
I lost you too

[Chorus]
Oh, my family tree is me
Oh, my family tree is me
Now my family tree is me
Oh, now I'm set free
