[Music]
I pitch my tent on this camp ground,
Few days, few days,
And give old Satan another round,
And I am going home;
I can't stay in these diggings,
Few days, few days,
I can't stay in these diggings,
I am going home.
The compiler of the _Social Harp_, John G. McCurry, claims this song
and dates it 1855. A variant of the tune is in Richardson, p. 72. A
negro adoption is given in _White Spirituals_, 266.
