about

This began as a satire on southern life, hilariously named "Every Family Has A Vegan", which was then shortened to "Every Family" and subsequently "Delta Family". Come to a live show to hear the story.

lyrics

Daddy taught me how to shoot a gun
Oh, my daddy taught me how to shoot a gun
Pull the trigger, count to three
When the smoke clears and it’s done
My dear, you are always the right one

Brother showed me how to clean the kill
Oh, my brother showed me how to clean the kill
Well, you bleed ‘em by the throat ‘til the beating heart is still
My dear, don’t let death make you ill

Mama takes the meat and makes a pie
Oh, my mama takes the meat and makes a pie
We know what’s for supper when the hunting season’s nigh
My dear, one day you’ll be a wife

I have kept a tally on my door
Of all the ones I’ve loved and lost before
I have kept a tally and the years slip out the door
I bat an aging eye
