Luka Bloom & Christy Moore - I'm A Bogman

I'M A BOGMAN
by LUKA BLOOM

So many people look at the bog
As a place that just lies dead
Nothing to do for the body
Nothing to do for the head
Take me where the heather and the moss grows
The turf lies row after row
Out there in the sun to dry
I breathe it in as I pedal on by
With the kids and the dogs mucking together
Bringing in the turf
No matter what the weather

I'm a bogman
Deep down, it's where I come from...

I'd love to see Arizona
Or the West Australian sands
But my heart belongs to those precious wetlands

No matter where your travelling takes you
Sure the bog will never leave you
Some people look for God above
Down in the bog I found love
Where the heather and the moss grow
The turf lies row after row
Out there in the sun to dry
I breathe it in as I pedal on by
With the kids and the dogs mucking together
Bringing in the turf
No matter what the weather

I'm a bogman
Deep down, it's where I come from...

I was far away, I was feeling down
Took a trip back to Milltown
Saddled the pony in Dowlings Lane
Headin for the turfbank carrying the slean
Cutting it straight and throwing it high
Garry's on the bank he's spreading it to dry
Cutting it, footing it, clapping it together
Bringing home the turf, no matter what the weather

I'm a bogman
Deep down, it's where I come from...
