We're Tenting Tonight,
On the old camp ground,
Give us a song to cheer,
Our weary hearts, is song of home,
And friends we love so dear,
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight,
Wishing for the war to ceased,
Many are the hearts,
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 tears that said, "goodbye"
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight,
Wishing for the war to ceased,
Many are the hearts,
Looking for the right,
To see the dawn of peace,
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We are tired of war on the old camp ground,
Many are dead and gone,
Of the brave and true who've left there homes,
Others have been wounded long,
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight,
Wishing for the war to ceased,
Many are the hearts,
Looking for the right,
To see the dawn of peace,
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We've been fighting today, on the old camp ground,
Many are lying near, some are dead, and some are dying,
And many are in tears,
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight,
Wishing for the war to ceased,
Many are the hearts,
Looking for the right,
To see the dawn of peace,
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
Dying tonight, Dying tonight,
Dying on the old camp ground.
