We're tenting tonight on the old campground, give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts, a song of hope, and friends we love so dear.
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight, wishing for the war to cease.
Many are the hearts that are longing for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight, tenting on the old campground.
We're tenting tonight on the old campground, thinking of the days gone by
Of the loved ones at home, that gave us their 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 that are longing for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight, tenting on the old campground.
We are tired of war on the old campground, many are dead and gone
Of the brave and the true who left their homes, others been wounded long.
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight, wishing for the war to cease.
Many are the hearts that are longing for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
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, others are dying.
Many are in tears.
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight, wishing for the war to cease.
Many are the hearts that are longing 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.
