The Swamps of Home lyrics
by Sutton Foster
[WINNIFRED]
I come from the land of the
Foggy, foggy dew-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Where walking through the meadow
In the morning is like walking through glue
The swamps of home
Are brushed with green and gold
At break of day
[LADIES]
(At break of day)
[WINNIFRED]
The swaps of home are lovely
To behold from far away
[LADIES]
From far away
[WINNIFRED]
In my soul is the beauty of the bog
In my memory the magic of the mud
[LADIES]
My
[WINNIFRED]
I know that blood is thicker than water
But the swamps of home are thicker than blood
[DAUNTLESS]
Blood!
[WINNIFRED, spoken]
That was so good
[DAUNTLESS, spoken]
Thank you so much
[WINNIFRED]
Where e'er I roam
My heart grows dank and cold
My face grows gray
When shadows fall and I hear the call
Of the swamps of home
I hear it calling me now
It's calling me back!
Calling me Winnifred, "Winnifred, Winnifred, Winnifred"
Who do you think you are?
Girl of the swamp
You've gone to 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...
[WINNIFRED]
As the swamps of home
[LADIES]
The swamps of home!
