[Verse 1]
Granddaddy was a gambler
Never ever seemed to win
Made a bad bet with the wrong man
We never saw Granddaddy again
Then Granny ran off with a grifter
She didn't even leave a note
Them kids had to raise each other
And that's about all she wrote
[Chorus]
That's why Mama ain't gonna quit drinkin'
Brother gonna always be broke
Sister won't ever do nothin'
'Cause she's too damn high on dope
Yeah, and I ain't judgin' nobody
Aw, it ain't much better for me
Yeah, I'm just another bad apple
That didn't fall far from thе tree
[Verse 2]
Mama walk around in her bathrobe
Suckin' Stoli down all day
Brother runnin' down to thе dog track
To throw a welfare check away
And sister's on her back in the Bowery
Just enough to get her fix
She couldn't earn it turnin' tables
So she turned to turnin' tricks
[Chorus]
That's why Mama ain't gonna quit drinkin'
Brother gonna always be broke
Sister won't ever do nothin'
'Cause she's too damn high on dope
Yeah, and I ain't judgin' nobody
Aw, it ain't much better for me
Yeah, I'm just another bad apple
That didn't fall far from the tree
[Chorus]
That's why Mama ain't gonna quit drinkin'
Brother gonna always be broke
Sister won't ever do nothin'
'Cause she's too damn high on dope
Yeah, and I ain't judgin' nobody
Aw, it ain't much better for me
Yeah, I'm just another bad apple
That didn't fall far from the tree
Yeah, I'm just another bad apple
That didn't fall far from the tree, mm
