Out past the dock waters run barefooted daughters
They'll hunt till it's sun up for engine and clothes
By dodging them coppers they'll come to some copper
And spend it on diamond and engine and bows
It's fair if they scare you they take pride and care
To wear veils to cover their eyes from their foes
They're tough in a scrap so their husbands might clap
For they fight like a bloodthirsty murder of crows

In peacetime we fled here in wartime we bled here
And now that we're stuck here we'll spit shine our shoes
The last man that left here left behind his beloved here
And with his life squandered she's singing the blues
Don't preach to the choir she'll call you a liar
Say you can't keep the horse from the race if he's fast
No devil can hold him no god will adore him
At least in the arms of his doctor he passed

My peoples' apostle who put fire in a bottle
And called it our bible salvation she drank
No Memory of idols no calves nor disciples
We swallowed it whole not one trickster to thank
They stripped us and clipped off our wings and now mock us
They ask can we clean up real nice with a tie
No chance left in heaven nor in hell you're forgiven
As long to the shanty town follies you're tied
