COWBOY CAMP MEETIN' [TIM SPENCER]
I saw the light [and i got the word]
I know that it's right [and have you heard]

I'm gonna ride[to cowbow camp meetin'],ride[to cowboy camp meetin']
ride[to cowboy camp meetin']ride on the golden range ]
Up in the sky[way up in the sky]up in the sky[way up in the sky]
Gonna' ride to the cowboy camp meetin' way up in the sky

There's Buffalo Bill and sister Lou gonna' be there brother like me and you
And ol' Kit Carson he will too,way up in the sky

They're gonna ride[etc...]

Li'l David slew that giant so tall,proved right was might for big and small
He'll play his harp as I recall way up in the sky

he's gonna' play[at the cowboy camp meetin']play[at the cowboy camp meetin']play[at the cowboy camp meetin']play on the golden harp
up in the sky[way up in the sky]up in the sky[way up in the sky]
he'll play at the cowboy camp meetin' way up in the sky


NOTE:the ending is pretty fancy,with a repeat of"play at the cowboy camp meetin'" several times,then an ascending tenor line by Ken Carson on "way up in the sky",in synch with a descending bass line by Hugh Faar...... has to be heard ....song is available on a couple of recent CD compilations in better stores [Borders,etc]
