Oh south of Neverember<\/em>
Where no one knows how to fly<\/em>
Is a small town called Saltmarsh<\/em>
Where budding hopes go to die<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its got sailors, its got dwarves<\/em>
And food for every diet<\/em>
Tonight come down to the wharves<\/em>
And we\u2019ll watch them all riot<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not curious<\/em>
We\u2019re not furious<\/em>
The spurious we will not receive<\/em>
Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s skeletons forming to the north<\/em>
And troglodytes swarming to the south<\/em>
And one lonely druid craves the breeze<\/em>
Hiding there in the last of the trees<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music is for city streets<\/em>
No sir we don\u2019t have a band<\/em>
We really like our beaches<\/em>
Keep our heads deep in the sand<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not curious<\/em>
We\u2019re not furious<\/em>
The spurious we will not receive<\/em>
Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called the Mere of Dead Men<\/em>
Though no one seems to know why<\/em>
The south wall is wide open<\/em>
In case friends want to stop by<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families moved in \u2018cause land is cheap<\/em>
But the dwarves are only here to mine<\/em>
Farmers neither sow nor do they reap<\/em>
Hey! Here come the lizardfolk to dine<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not curious<\/em>
We\u2019re not furious<\/em>
The spurious we will not receive<\/em>
Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t hear the songs of any cult<\/em>
And don\u2019t you mention pirates again<\/em>
There\u2019s no undead and there\u2019s no occult<\/em>
I\u2019m quite sure that\u2019s not a smugglers den<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No doubt everything is fine<\/em>
Says the mayor with chest bared<\/em>
Have one more glass of claw wine<\/em>
And we\u2019ll pretend we\u2019re not scared<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not curious<\/em>
We\u2019re not furious<\/em>
The spurious we will not receive<\/em>
Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m riding the waves on the Sea Ghost<\/em>
Doing that thing which I love the most<\/em>
Exploring this mysterious coast<\/em>
Whoops I missed our port I\u2019m so engrossed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if night finds me back in Saltmarsh<\/em>
I know what they\u2019ll say that very eve<\/em>
I\u2019ll gird myself for those words so harsh:<\/em>
Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave Saltmarsh alone or just plain leave.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
