So many say that they hate you Awaiting the north they can leave to But I find you innocent, darling A warm night with your waters sparkling And the shady green oaks of the south Not the fury they put in your mouth Hold glory more than I could know Hold a love only found down below And the swamps never turned me away They said, come in child, we've been waiting all day It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand The way I behave And the heron won't stop flight for me Won't change his course and he won't choose to flee It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand My abnormality I'll say, for better or worse They'll drive my corpse off in a hearse Before I lose my true adoration And have hatred on any occasion For that jubilance I saw On my very first Mardi Gras Throw me something, something good I caught every bead I could And the swamps never turned me away How could you blame the tall sugar cane It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand The things that bring me shame And the heron won't stop flight for me Won't change his course and he won't choose to flee It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand My abnormality What has two thumbs and is one with the swine? A politician smiling on a yard sign Hand on the Bible, fingers crossed behind Citing a hurtful line But a Hurricane is coming And she won't favor no one It matters not to the land, it matters not to the land What would the pastor think of my stance On our political dance The pendulum swing and every doggone thing He's in a fiery trance But the catfish out there swimming They rolled their eyes when I tried to ask 'Cause it matters not to the land, it matters not to the land And the swamps never turned me away They said, come in child, we've been waiting all day It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand The way I behave And the heron won't stop flight for me Won't change his course and he won't choose to flee It matters not to the land, to the silt and the sand My abnormality It matters not to the land It matters not to the land And the heron won't stop flight for me It matters not to the land It matters not to the land, to the land, to the land
