Here at the big turn down on the river
Ma sails the young ones down to the sea
Here at the big turn down on the river
Pa and his shotgun stand like a tree
Here comes a holy war
Marching up on us
It was too late to start a rapport
No help for that charred burning bus
No one is trusted outside the holler
Hiding among us innocent folk
The enemy wears a clerical collar
Death offers virgins pulling the yoke
All my brothers Fight side by side
We’d live free if we had our druthers
And we won’t be swamped by this hadithal tide
Here at the big turn down on the river
Ma sails the young ones down to the sea
Here at the big turn down on the river
Pa and his shotgun stand like a tree
Big Turn
Vuelta Grande
E pluribus unum spurned
Pax haud bellum today
There aren’t Jihadis
Hiding among on us
We could have stopped them from bombing in our cities
One holds a piece of my wife’s funeral dress
Here at the big turn down on the river
Ma sails the young ones down to the sea
Here at the big turn down on the river
Pa and his shotgun stand like a tree
