Lyrics
Swamp Creek Stomp
copyright May 1998
by Cory Cavill Tompkins and Polly Anna Winebrenner
Verse 1
Oh, oh, oh I was born in a Montana swamp
before I could walk I did the Swamp Creek Stomp. Did the stomp - the Swamp Creek Stomp.
Bomp, bomp, bomp ba domp
ya da da da da da da da bomp ba dow.
Verse 2
The coyotes howled as the moon hung low.
Me and my honey did the do cie do
to the Stomp -- the Swamp Creek Stomp.
Bomp, bomp, bomp ba domp
ya da da da da da da da bomp ba dow.
Chorus
The Stomp is a step designed for two
under the light of a Montana moon.
Take off your shoes. Let down your hair.
Listen to the melodies in the cool night air.
Do the Stomp. Do the Stomp.
The Swamp Creek Stomp.
ooh ooh, ooh ooh,
Verse 3
In the Montana mountains
we grow our men stout,
but they're too damn shy to ask a woman out
to do the Stomp, the Swamp Creek Stomp.
Bomp bomp, bomp ba domp
ya da da da da da da da bomp ba dow
Chorus
