Tenting On The Old Camp Ground.
We"re tenting to-night on the old camp ground, -
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts, a song of home
And the friends we love so dear.
Chorus:
Many are the hearts that are weary to-night,
Wishing for the war to cease;
Many are the hearts looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
Refrain:
Tenting to-night, tenting to-night,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We"ve been tenting to-night on the old camp ground
Thinking of days gone by;
Of the loved ones at home who gave us the hand
And the tear that said "Good-bye!"
Chorus.
We are tired of war on the old camp ground, -
Many are dead and gone,
Of the loved and true who"ve left their homes;
Others been wounded long.
Chorus.
We"ve been fighting to-day on the old camp ground, -
Many are lying near;
Some are dead, and some dying:
Many are in tears.
Chorus And Refrain:
Dying to-night, dying to-night,
Dying on the old camp ground.
