Shout and never tire, There’s a great camp meetin’ in the Promised Land. Oh, walk together, children, don’t you get weary, There’s a great camp meetin’ in the Promised Land. Oh, walk together, children, don’t you get weary, Sing together, children, don’t you get weary, Shout together, children, don’t you get weary, There’s a great camp meetin’ in the Promised Land. —Negro Spiritual
