Music and lyrics by Kathryn Wheeler.
A recording of this song can be found here
The mud’s the Marcher’s own best friend Though you may laugh, its true Whilst you think mud is “filthy”, well We take a different view
And when the day is o..ver We’ll drink a glass or more, to Marcher mud - its in our blood, Ingrained in every pore
Chorus: We’re down to earth, down and dirty Down and dirty, down and dirty Down to earth, down and dirty Digging for victory x2
We scorn polite society To cultivate its loyalty And though you think it unrefined We treat it just like royalty
And when the day is o..ver etc.
Chorus
We strive to treat the mud with care With lots of muck and tilling And it repays us thousandfold - That’s why its so fulfilling
And when the day is o..ver etc.
Chorus
The mud’s the Marcher’s own best friend So cross us if you dare For it shall heed our call to war! Intruders best beware……
And when the day is o..ver etc.
Chorus
