We'll Camp a Little While in the Wilderness
Traditional
As learned from both Randy Wilson and Sheila Kay Adams
Recorded live at Stone Soup Coffeehouse, April 4, 1998

One of the endearing things about native Rhode Islander's is our sense of distance. A span of about 22 miles from Providence might as well be California to some. That 22 miles brings one to the highest point in RI, Jerimoth Hill, a whopping 812 feet above sea level, which gets significantly more snow than other parts of the state, hence, more snow days. A long-running joke in RI is from winter morning radio: "No school Foster-Glocester."

lyrics

We'll camp a little while in the wilderness
In the wilderness, in the wilderness
We'll camp a little while in the wilderness
Then I'm going home

Chorus:
Then I'm going home
Then I'm going home
We're all making ready, oh ready
Then I'm going home

Oh brothers are you ready
Ready, oh, ready
Oh brothers are you ready
Then I'm going home...Chorus

Oh sisters are you ready
Ready, oh, ready
Sisters are you ready
Then I'm going home...Chorus

Oh children are you ready
Ready, oh, ready
Oh children are you ready
Then I'm going home...Chorus

We'll camp a little while in the wilderness
In the wilderness, in the wilderness
We'll camp a little while in the wilderness
Then I'm going home...Chorus
