I feel a mighty quake
The south begins to shake
Under our family tree
The leaves begin to blow
Gone with the wind they go
All through our family tree
Up top magnolias bloom
They spread their sweet perfume
For this ancestral jubilee
Now every bough must pull it's weight
It's time to prune and propagate
Welcome to our family tree
I hear the dogwood's bark
A seed's begun to spark
Inside our family tree
A twig begins to poke
From out that mighty oak
To join the jamboree
And like a slide trombone
He glides out fully grown
A dixieland R.S.V.P.
And no one minds an extra limb
Especially when it looks like him!
So welcome to our family tree
I feel a burst of spring
My trunk begins to swing
Just like our family tree
The cousins come to call
They'll stay until next fall
'Cause there's lots of fixins
And they're free
Save some of that gumbo for me
The kin folk gather 'round
They've covered lots of ground
There's not a soul left in Tennessee
They've all arrived to germinate
To fertilize and cultivate
And populate our family tree
I'll give a rebel yell
To every southern belle
Under our family tree
I'll swing the second line
When our two clans combine
For some big
Easy harmony
Trumpets begin to shout
To welcome your new sprout
You've charmed this yankee refugee
You're all so lush and overgrown
But I know I'll never be alone
I'm glad to climb your family tree
Your love has raised the bar
I'm swingin' on a star
For that who needs a law degree?!?!
The trees that bear the ripest fruits
Are trees that have the deepest roots, so...
Welcome to our family
Welcome to our family
Welcome to the family tree!
Look out old Frankie is home!
Yeah!
