Tenting on the Old Campground

Chorus:

Many are the hearts that are weary tonight, Wishing for the war to cease; Many are the hearts that are looking for the right To see the dawn of peace. Tenting tonight, tenting tonight, tenting on the old camp ground

We've been tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Thinking of days gone by, Of the loved ones at home that gave us the hand And the tear that said "Goodbye!" (Chorus)

We are tired of war on the old camp ground, Many are 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 camp ground, Many are lying near; Some are dead and some are dying, Many are in tears.

Final Chorus:

Many are the heart who are weary tonight, Wishing for the war to cease; Many are the hearts that are looking for the right To see the dawn of peace Dying tonight, dying tonight, dying on the old camp ground.
