Tenting Tonight Songtext
von Jeff Warner

We are tenting tonight on the old camp ground
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts a song of home
And ones 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 camp ground


And we are tenting tonight on the old camp ground
Thinking of days gone by
Of loved ones at home who gave a 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 looking for the right
To see the dawn of peace
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight
Tenting on the old camp ground

And we are tenting tonight on the old camp ground
Fires are flickering low
Still on the ground the sleepers lie
While the sentinels come and go
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 camp ground


And we are weary of war on the old camp ground
Many are wounded long
Of the true and the brave who left their homes
Many are dead and gone
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 camp ground
