In This Camp lyrics

In this camp there's one who delights me

Brings me afternoon tea then she leaves me

When they're climbing over the sea

She helps to keep our strength complete

But I'd rather stay

'Cause the north is too far away

I wanted to marry Babette

And the weapons on my shoulders

I'd throw into seaweed banks

And the willows and the lime-trees

Were gathered there for us

Above the unconquered seas

Unconquered seas

There's the horn call

Put your boots and courage on and run

I wanted to marry Babette

And the weapons on my shoulders

I'd throw into seaweed banks

And the willows and the lime-trees

Were gathered there for us

Above the unconquered seas

Unconquered seas

I'm counting up all the lovely years

Since I had stepped inside

With the others in this lonely field

Who I fought beside

They mustn't mind

They must let me go to find

A site for my retire

Will this war

Capture your heart or more

And carry you down the shore

'Cause the north is too far away

I wanted to marry Babette

And the weapons on my shoulders

I'd throw into seaweed banks

And the willows and the lime-trees

Were gathered there for us

Above the unconquered seas

And the willows and the lime-trees

Were gathered there for us

Above the unconquered seas
