Wandered into town, on a Tuesday,
To find some work and maybe somewhere to sit,
But instead I find some kindness,
In the gift of a bottle,
And the sun to warm my bones whilst I’m adrift.

The constable he found me, out at sundown,
I thought for sure that I was getting taken in,
But instead he brought me downs about the river,
And with a curse of judge and jury: plunged me in.

If you’re gonna hold a head beneath the water,
Your hands have got to be cold as the grave.
The steel in your spine, is corruption and a crime,
It’s murder done by any other name.
A gun or badge can’t keep it from being the same.

I woke up, in the mud, of the river.
I knew for sure that I had shuffled on.
Or found my share of coffin nails,
With life’s blood pooling in my pail,
The water in my lungs became my name.

So I sought the constable out by the moonlight.
His six shots he put all into in my chest.
By all he did was free the murky water
And make new river springs,
To bubble forth and babble my name.

Delaware, I come a’calling
Delaware, my name is deep
Delaware, you drowned my body
Well now I come collecting
And your black and blue soul to keep.

His gun nor ideology could kill me.
His badge it made him feel he couldn’t run.
And so he stood his ground,
But by his hands my body drowned,
Beware the Delaware, and I her son. 

And so I took him down into the river.
And gave his body back to the mud.
The river is the gallows,
My Mother and my power,
Beware the Delaware, and I her son.

If you’re gonna hold a head beneath the water,
Your hands have got to be cold as the grave.
The steel in your spine, is corruption and a crime,
A gun or badge can’t keep it from being the same.
It’s murder done by any other name.
It’s murder done by any other name.
It’s murder done by any other name.
