The Swamps of Home

Lyrics

[WINNIFRED] I come from the land of the foggy, foggy dew Ooh-ooh-ooh Where walking through the meadow in the morning Is like walking through glue Ooh-ooh-ooh The swamps of home Are brushed with green and gold At break of day... [DAUNTLESS] At break of day [WINNIFRED] The swamps of home Are lovely to behold From far away... [DAUNTLESS] From far away [WINNIFRED] In my soul is the beauty of the bog In my memory the magic of the mud I know that blood is thicker than water But the swamps of home Are thicker than blood! [DAUNTLESS] Bluh-uh-ud! [WINNIFRED] Where e'er I roam My heart grows dank and cold My face grows grey-- When shadows fall and I hеar the call Of the swamps of home I hеar them calling me now, calling me back Calling me: "Winnifred! Winnifred! Winnifred! Winnifred! Who do you think you are? Girl of the swamp, you have gone too far Maid of the marshland, give up the struggle Listen to the voice of the swamp: Gluggle uggle uggle!" [LADIES] "Gluggle uggle uggle!" [WINNIFRED] Where e'er I roam The whips of fate may smart But deep down in my heart One thought will abide And will ne'er be forgotten Though I search far and wide-- There is no land as rotten-- [LADIES] Rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten [WINNIFRED] As the swamps of home [ALL] The swamps of home!
