Lyrics San Fermin – Swamp Song
Text:
Did they call you nature boy?
Did they say your name wrong?
Did they make fun of your dad
Because he cried at baseball?
When you wear a color?
Come on down into the swamp
And jump into the water
Disappear into the trees
Where no one knows you’re gone
Ghosts of ants and ancestors
Are here where you belong
Make a muddy mausoleum
Here amid the weeds
Catch a slimy ?
Just don’t touch his teeth
Put your boots on and your bug spray
Even if you’ve had a rough day
Time to let go of the small things
Don’t you know the swamp is calling?
Tell your mother and your father
You are headed for the water
Tell your sister and your cousin
Can’t you hear the crickets buzzing?
Holy heady hellgrammites
Hunting in the golden night
Hunting all the creeping crawling
Can’t you hear the swarm is calling?
Put your boots on and your bug spray
Even if you’ve had a rough day
Don’t you know the swamp is calling?
Grab a net but better hurry
Tell your parents not to worry
Water sloshes your galoshes
Tell your mother not to wash it
Put your boots on and your bug spray
Even if you’ve had a rough day
Time to let go of the small things
Don’t you know the swamp is calling?
Grab a net but better hurry
Tell your parents not to worry
Water sloshes your galoshes
Tell your mother not to wash it
