Country Song on Family Probate Fueds

Country musicThe Pistol Annies, a country music group, recently released a new album entitled Hell on Heels. The album contains a song called "Family Feud," which describes how a family probate feud can begin. The lyrics to the song are below: 

Fine china stacked by the kitchen sink 
Aunt Tammie's in there claiming all the diamond rings 
Uncle Bobbs holding up the TV set 
The only thing they are grieving over 
Is what they ain't gonna get 
She's only been in the ground a day or two 
I'm glad Mama ain't around to watch this family fued 

Great gran daddy'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 fued 

I'm watching it all go down in shame 
Wish the whole house would 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 fued 

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

Special thanks to Clark Skatoff (attorney, Palm Beach Gardens, FL) for bringing this song to my attention.
