Ethel Cain - Family Tree lyrics

Artist: Ethel Cain

album: Preacher’s Daughter


These crosses all over my body

Remind me of who I used to be

Give myself up to him in offering

Let him make a woman out of me
I'm just a child but I'm not above violence

My mama raised me better than that
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence
And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back"
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean

Put me on the back of your white horse to ride

All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me

I've killed before and I'll kill again

Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand

They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned
And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before

So take me down to the river and bathe me clean

Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me

These crosses all over my body

Remind me of who I used to be

And Christ, forgive these bones I've been hiding
Oh, and the bones I'm about to leave, yeah
And take me down to the river and bathe me clean, oh

Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me, yeah
