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'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 you're traveling 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 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'm a bogman
Deep down, it's where I come from

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

You love a cuppa tea by the turf fire
Your arms around your heart's desire
The two of you looking out at the midland night
At the shooting stars and the satellites

Turf smell warms hearts
'Til the hugging and the kissing starts
Bog love surrounds you
A beautiful place to come to

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

It's where I come from
I'm a bogman, deep down
I'm a bogman, it's where I come from
I'm a bogman
