Tenting Tonight

Описание: AO Scheduled Folk Song - JANUARY 2020


I decided to leave out verse 3 for the sake of video length, but it hurt my heart to do it. I didn't feel like any of them were expendable; they all seemed vital to the heart of the song. I'm including those lyrics here in parenthesis for those who might want to use them. *



Tenting Tonight
by Walter Kittredge


We're tenting tonight on the old campground,
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts, a song of home
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.


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
Tears 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.


(We are tired of war on the old campground,
Many are dead and gone
Of the brave and true who've left their homes
Others 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.)



We've been fighting today on the old campground,
Many are lying near
Some are dead and some dying
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.
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight, tenting on the old campground.
