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
Where are you people finding recordings? It's not coming up for me.
