[Lyric] O Mother (Jodee Lewis)

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

Chorus:
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 and a lonely smile
But when family resemblance rears its head
You can dig it up or you can bury it dead
Chorus
