Tenting On The Old Campground

We are tenting tonight on the old campground
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts, a song of home
And friends we love so dear

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace

Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground

We've been tenting tonight on the old campground
Thinking of days gone by
Of the loved ones at home that gave us the hand
And the tear that said goodbye

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace

Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground

We are tenting tonight on the old campground
The fires are flickering low
Still are the sleepers lying around
As the sentinels come and go

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace

Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground

We are tired of war on the old campground
Many are the dead and gone
Of the brave and true who've left their homes
And others been wounded long

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace

Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old campground

We've been fighting today on the old campground
Many are lying near
Some are dead, and some are dying
And many are in tears

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Wishing for the war to cease
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace

Dying tonight, dying tonight
Dying on the old campground
Dying tonight, dying tonight
Dying on the old campground
