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 GOOD-BY

Chorus


WE ARE TIRED OF THE WAR ON THE OLD CAMPGROUND
MANY ARE THE DEAD AND GONE
OF THE BRAVE AND TRUE WHO'VE LEFT THEIR HOMES
OTHERS BEEN WOUNDED LONG

Chorus

WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING TODAY ON THE OLD CAMPGROUND
MANY ARE LYING NEAR
SOME ARE DEAD AND SOME ARE DYING
MANY ARE IN TEARS

Last Chorus

MANY ARE THE HEARTS THAT ARE WEARY TONIGHT
WISHING FOR THE WAR TO CEASE
MANY ARE THE HEARTS LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT
TO SEE THE DAWN OF PEACE
DYING TONIGHT, DYING TONIGHT
DYING ON THE OLD CAMPGROUND.
