lyrics

Take me down, to where the boys are swimming
Take me down, to where the black water is shining
Take me to the family tree where the seed don't fall far
Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love...that surrounds me

Lake Henry's where all the boys & girls learn how to swim
Lake Henry's where all the kids learn to spread their wings
They play their soldiers on the docks on Fourth of July
They blue eyed blonde haired fair skinned stock that's always askin' why, why, whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!

Take me to the family tree where the seed doesn't fall far
Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love that surrounds me

We say, "come back in when the sun goes down it's time to head up to bed."
"I'll ready you a story after we get settled and the fairies will spin in your head."
"So don't give me no lip, don't give me no lie, 'cause only God fearin' truth is here."
We hold our hands in the prayin' circle before we serve our meals.
Yeah.........

Take me to the family tree where the seed doesn't fall far
Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love that surrounds me.
