[00:14.11]The weevils all took to cotton and cows all took to dry
[00:19.63]But the varmints left behind, some took up to die
[00:25.12]Trouble took to Daddy like dew drops take to night
[00:30.61]Mama took to cryin’ a lot and Daddy took to wine
[00:35.49]And I took a train outta there
[00:38.01]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help, maybe
[00:42.75]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[00:48.16]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[00:50.96]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[00:58.65]Flowers took to Daddy and Daddy, he took to calm
[01:04.08]Sister took to black wheel nights and Mama cried alone
[01:08.83]Brother, he took up preaching and the bank man took the farm
[01:14.62]They came and took my mom away, she can’t do herself no harm
[01:19.93]And I took a train outta there
[01:22.69]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help, maybe
[01:25.83]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[01:31.00]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[01:33.52]Heaven help the tie that binds a family
[02:25.23]The weevils all took to cotton and cows all took to dry
[02:30.39]But the varmints left behind, some took up to die
[02:35.77]Trouble took to Daddy like dew drops take to night
[02:40.75]Mama took to cryin’ a lot and Daddy took to wine
[02:45.59]And I took a train outta there
[02:48.44]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
[02:54.68]Looks like even God can’t save the family
[03:00.16]Looks like only God can save the family
[03:07.25]And I took a train outta there
[03:09.54]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
[03:14.76]Looks like only God can save the family
[03:18.45]Looks like only God can save the family
[03:26.10]And I took a train outta there
[03:28.76]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
[03:34.07]Looks like only God can save the family
[03:37.01]Looks like only God can save the family
[03:44.39]And I took a train outta there
[03:47.05]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
[03:51.02]Looks like even God can’t save the family
[03:56.43]Looks like only God can save the family
[04:02.92]And I took a train outta there, you hear me
[04:05.47]I told the engineer I don’t believe there’s no help handy
[04:09.10]Looks like even God can’t save the family
[04:14.69]Looks like even God can’t save the family
[04:17.19]Looks like only God can save the family
