She had a bad childhood while she was very young
G
So don't judge her too badly
C
She had a schizophrenic mother who worked in the gutter
G
Would have sold herself to the devil gladly

What a sad environment
Em
A bugridden tenement and when they couldn't pay the rent
G
It was 'cause her father was out getting sicker
C D
Oh, the stone's been cast and blood's thicker than water.
[Chorus]

And the sins of the family fall on the daughter

All the sins of the family fall on the daughter.

And the high I. Q. 's who condemned her

Knew she was a product of poor heredity, yeah
