Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion was a ghostly man, 
Confusing  the enemy in many  a nightly stand

Where does this crafty fox go to hide
I’m told his ancestors heard his cry

He was as allusive as the South Carolina Wind
Confusing the enemy to their very witts end

A man of small stature, smarter than a fox
Seemingly to disappear among the mossy rocks

Many a bloody raid he encounters, Killing the enemy
Leaving GOD’S creation unharmed as his legacy

He played a Great Part in Winning the Revolutionary War
He lifted the morale of the Militia to a Great Roar

Many Military Degrees could not win this war
A Sly Swamp Fox from Berkeley County settled the Score
