Music
Bill's songs and stories feature regularly on radio and television and his plays have been performed throughout Australia. He has performed his songs and stories from outback places such as Mount Dare (pop.10), down the Birdsville Track with the Great Australian Cattle Drive, on the Ghan as part of Great Southern Rail's ANZAC Tribute Journey and at the Transport Hall of Fame gala dinner at Alice Springs with Slim Dusty.
'Bill "Swampy" Marsh shared his life and talents generously with an appreciative audience…his love of the Australian countryside and the people who live there was evident in every ballad and story he sang and told.'
—Border Chronicle
Hi Swampy—Just want to say a big 'thank you'. It was fantastic to have you aboard & the performance was brilliant. I hope you're willing to work with us again as we will most definitely be booking you again and recommending you to others! Enjoy your upcoming trip on The Ghan!
—Jessica Playford (Great Southern Rail)
'The CD arrived today. We all stood 'round and listened. And we all got choked up and teary. It is so beautiful.'
—Kate Mayes (Publisher–Little Hare)
Open Roads
Wherever I roam
in this great big world,
there's nowhere I'd rather be
than an open fire,
a place called home,
and just you and me.

Glory, Glory
Glory, glory, what can it be
there's a sound up on high
that only angels can see.
Glory, glory, what can it be,
the flying doctor
is coming for me.

A Drover's Wife
A drover's wife,
it's no kind of life
for a woman keen
on settling down.
She needs a man
who's always at hand
to take her out on the town.

Australia
Oh my heart,
it belongs to Australia.
Oh my heart,
it belongs to the land.
From the deep blue seas
that surround her
to her centre of gibber and sand.
