The Songs of Campfires

So sing the songs of campfires And sing them without fail— Sing them now among the pyres And sing them on the trail. Tell of things that used to be, Tell of those gone before— Make them stop now and just see, Our heritage and lore. And let them not forget us Or all the things we’ve done— We may brag and fight and cuss, But we sure had some fun! Don’t let those campfires burn out— We got stories to spin! The West is what we’re about— We must remember when. So sing them now all your days And sing them to the Lord— Sing them now a hundred ways Before you cross that ford. So sing the songs of campfires And sing them without fail— Sing them now among the pyres And sing them on the trail.
