Fine china stacked by the kitchen sink
Aunt Tammy's in there
Claiming all the diamond rings
Uncle Bobby's alone at the TV set
Only thing they're grieving over
Is what they ain't gonna get

She's only been in the ground
A day or two
Oh, I'm glad mama ain't around
To watch this family feud

Great granddaddy's shotgun started it all
She wasn't even cold
Before they ripped it off the wall
Wanda's fighting Angie over antique quilts
Nobody even waited for the reading of the will

If Daddy was here
He'd beat us black and blue
I'm glad mama ain't around
To watch this family feud

I'm watching it all go down in shame
Wish the whole house could go up in flames
Who gives a damn about a cedar chest
When we just laid her soul to rest

She's only been in the ground
A day or two
I'm glad mama ain't around
To watch this family feud

She's probably rolling over in her grave
'Cause the good lord giveth
And the family taketh away
