Analysis of Chopped down my family tree
On a trip to Marseille France
Arrived at a cemetery very late
Requested to locate ancestor's grave and dance
It contained bones of a familial pirate
Some families have skeletons in their closet
Mine contains more than a fair share
Figuratively chopping family tree with imaginary hatchet
Shiver me timbers from my past they're everywhere
