Ethel Cain - Family Tree lyrics

[Ethel Cain - Family Tree lyrics]

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
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
Let Christ forgive these bones
I've been hiding
And the bones I'm about to leave

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
