Swamp Yankee
Grayson Hugh

Ayup

I'm goin' down east

I'm goin' under

Gonna fill my boots

With the rain & thunder

From Ammonoosuc

Down to Chicopee

I'm gonna ride this river

Right to the sea


I ain't no punk (ain't no punk)

Just a little bit stanky (a little bit stanky)

I got the funk (I got the funk)

I'm a swamp yankee (swamp yankee)

Swamp yankee

Yes I am, swamp yankee


Y'see, my grandpa

He's a half Pequot

Scrapin' a livin'

From a lobster pot

He was raised

By the mooncussers

Methodist deacons

Them turkey buzzards

Grew a family

Of his own

Put down roots

In a field of stone


He ain't no punk (ain't no punk)

Just a little bit cranky (a little bit cranky)

He got the funk (he got the funk)

Of a swamp yankee (swamp yankee)

Swamp yankee

Ah, yes he is, yes he is

Swamp yankee

Hey, ayuh


It's been hardscrabble

Since the mill shut down

But I'm a barnacle

On the edge of town

I built this trailer (oh yes he did)

In the sand

So let the tide come in, I don't care

I'm a lobster man


I ain't no punk (ain't no punk)

Just a little bit stanky (a little bit stanky)

I got the funk (I got the funk)

I'm a swamp yankee (swamp yankee)

I got a yard fulla junk (yard fulla junk)

Ain't nothin' swanky (nothin' swanky)

I got the funk (I got the funk)

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a

I'm a swamp yankee

Oh, nothin' but a swamp yankee

Yes I am, now lookit, baby

I got the claw

Of a lobstermon

And when I go to work

I get the job done

Tell ya I got the claw

Of nothin' but a swamp yankeemon....


Heya ya heya ya, heya ya hey, heya ya heya, hey hey yahey

Heya ya heya ya, heya ya hey, heya ya heya, hey hey yahey

Yaya yaya heya ya, hey yaya heya hey, yaya ya yaya, heyhey. Ya yaya hey

Yaya yaya heya ya, hey yaya heya hey, yaya ya yaya, heyhey. Ya yaya hey

Heya ya heya ya, heya ya hey, heya ya heya, hey hey yahey

Heya ya heya ya, heya ya hey, heya ya heya, hey hey yahey
