Lyrics : Family Funeral Fight
Now he was just a little fella
Barely five foot three
But he caused a great commotion
Down in Ducktown, Tennessee
Now it was nothing that the old man did
Or one word that he said
Fact is, the trouble didn't start
'Til three days after he was dead
It was a military funeral
With the family gathered round
Come to show the old man honor
And to ease him in the ground
But murmurs spread among the crowd
And the mourner's blood ran cold
When up pulled the big squad car
Marked Tennessee State Patrol
It was the old man's youngest son
Doing 25 to life
For burning down his brother's trailer
And running off with his wife
The entire family was divided
Held together by a shaky truce
And then a woman yelled, "I still love you, Earl"
And all hell broke lose
Barely five foot three
But he caused a great commotion
Down in Ducktown, Tennessee
Now it was nothing that the old man did
Or one word that he said
Fact is, the trouble didn't start
'Til three days after he was dead
It was a military funeral
With the family gathered round
Come to show the old man honor
And to ease him in the ground
But murmurs spread among the crowd
And the mourner's blood ran cold
When up pulled the big squad car
Marked Tennessee State Patrol
It was the old man's youngest son
Doing 25 to life
For burning down his brother's trailer
And running off with his wife
The entire family was divided
Held together by a shaky truce
And then a woman yelled, "I still love you, Earl"
And all hell broke lose
