intro Capo 1st
She had a bad childhood
when she was very young
so don t judge her too badly
she had a schizophrenic mother
who worked in the gutter
and woulda sold herself
to the devil gladly
what a sad environment
a bud-ridden tenement
and when they couldn t pay the rent
it was cause her father was out
getting liquored
oh, the stones been cast
and blood s thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
all the sins of a family fall on the daughter
at the age of 16 she had been around more
than any girl over 30
and the high I. Q. s who condemned her
knew she was a product of poor heredity
it s a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
you can backtrack failure with inspection without exception
ah the sins of a family fall on the daughter
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter
break- --
ah the devil is open to all of us
heavens selects a precious few
it takes some inside pull to get
Gabriel make an angel of you
one can t live a lie then expect to die
ah-with a soul in paradise
you know you gotta pay the price
like you oughtta
blood s thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter
