War Camp
Theotime De Poitiers (Joseph Chiasson)
Tune "Cadillac Ranch" by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, also by Bruce Springsteen

F
There she hangs mister, shining like the burnin sun
Bb                                      F
Oiled up and polished' just a ready for some fun
F
Gonna pack my garb and tent, my sleeping bag, my lamp
Bb                               C              F
And I'm headin' out to another war camp

Ridin down the highway lookin forward to a bash
In my mind I hear the cries and racket as they crash
Fighters come from all around to try to leave their stamp
Tryin' to impress folks at another war camp

[Chorus]
War camp   War camp
Sunny and Dry, foggy and damp
Take a long trip just like I did before
Swing around my big stick and pop rivets by the score

Seumas will be sitting there a growlin' in his chest
Gareth in his white belt will be beatin' on his breast
Feelin like a superman as fighters dent my shield
Gonna keep on fightin' til they drag me off the field

[chorus]

Come on close, my lady, cuz we're loosin all the light
Cuddle up beneath my cloak and hold me good and tight
We'll burn away the chill of night, we'll burn away the damp
As folks can only do it at a real war camp

[chorus] (2x))
