Neponset River Murder Ballad
He died in the estuary, he was found under a bridge
He was missing a couple of days, then he was found
He didn't pick up his mail, something was wrong.
Murder by the Neponset River...
He said he was going out before he hung up the phone
He didn't say where he was going, then he was found.
An anonymous call from a phone, they traced the call.
Murder by the Neponset River...
Murder by the Neponset River, sins and a price on his head
Murder by the Neponset River, a man and a cellphone are dead.
The call was traced to Dorchester,
when they found the phone it was broken
It was a Samsung Galaxy III bought in a store.
The buyer was someone named Sammy whose home address was Miami.
Murder by the Neponset River...
It's now an interstate crime, so they called in the FBI
The deceased was identified, he lived alone.
He once knew someone named Sammy living down in Miami
Murder by the Neponset River...
So why was Sammy perturbed? What had gone so terribly wrong?
Sammy was found on the beach near Biscayne Bay.
Sammy said that he didn't do it, the FBI couldn't prove it was him.
Murder by the Neponset River...
The moral of the story: bury your dead in a quarry
Don't bury them under a bridge, they wash up on shore
And if you go out somewhere, leave a note for someone.
