God Bless Our Noble Swamp
from Swamp Songs & Other Muddy Melodies, a song book compiled by
Lady Brighid ni Ciaran of Tethba

God bless our noble swamp
Though it be cold and damp
God save our swamp.
Though every castle sinks,
And though our monarch thinks
The ground beneath us stinks,
Still it's our swamp.

Oh, how it stirs the blood
To cry: "Let them eat mud!"
In our dear swamp.
Though it is cold and wet,
And many colds we get,
Still there is no better yet
Than our dear swamp.
