Family Album (家庭相簿) - David Allan Coe
On Sunday after church there'd

Always be a picnic

There'd be kinfolks callin' until dawn

Me I'd play the guitar and my
Uncle Merle would sing

And grandpa he'd play that fiddle all night long

Now the women folk they would
Work out in the kitchen

You could smell that food for
Miles and miles around Paw

He was prayin' my brother Jack

Would bring him down some moonshine

Just so's that he could wash those viddle down

As soon as all the kids got
Tired of playin' horseshoes

Mama she'd call me over to her side

You know she'd say I'd like to
Take some pictures

You could see her face light up with pride

And then she'd bring out
That worn out family album

It's faded pictures some with corners torn

She'd laugh and point and tell me funny stories

And look she'd say why that's
The day that you were born

And I'd sit and reminisce each picture with her

And I'd listen to her laughter and her sighs

But underneath I knew how much I'd hurt her

For I'd put teardrops in my mama's eyes

In my mama's eyes

I've never done a wrong thing

I was still a baby in my mama's eyes

That old family album she'll
Keep on her night stand

Right next to the Bible until the day she dies

Through all those years in prison she stuck by me

And she came to visit anytime she could

Well I remember at my trial when
She testified she loved me

And she told the judge

I'd always been so good

Then later through the fame

She watched me blossom

From just a local country singer

To a great big star

She listened to all my records

For the hidden meanings

And she came to hear me sing

In all those dim lit bars

And she read all the things

They wrote about me

But she knew deep in her
Heart that it was lies

No she don't hide her head in shame

When someone says my name

You'll find no teardrops in my mama's eyes

In my mama's eyes I've never

Done a wrong thing

I was still a baby in my mama's eyes

That old family album she'll
Keep on her night stand

Right next to the Bible until the day she dies

Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
