This is what we have so far. Almost done

CAMP MEETING IN JULY
(Jerry Correll/Casey Hash)

Verse 1
When I was a little boy
I'd milk the cow and clean the sty.
I knew the time was getting near
Camp Meeting in July

We'd put on our Sunday best
Our shirts and pants all washed in lye
People'd come from miles around
Camp Meeting in July

Chorus
       Glory Hallelujah
       See the fire in the sky
       Glory Hallelujah
       Camp Meeting in July

       Glory Hallelujah
       We all sang The Sweet Bye and Bye
       Glory Hallelujah
       Camp Meeting in July

Instrumental aabb

Verse 2
A preacher preached the Holy Word
I listened to my sister cry
And Mama cooled her with a fan
Camp meeting in July

The Deacons had a baseball game
We all had ice cream apple pie
We all had a big old time
Camp meeting in July

Verse 3
A little girl with hair of gold
Held my hand beneath the sky
And later on I stole a kiss
Camp Meeting in July

We rode home in the buck board then
All snuggled down all cozy dry
My sleep was filled with childhood dreams
Cam Meeting in July

Repeat Chorus
