Country Song on Family Probate Fueds
The 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.
