Christchurch (Hitchin) Scouts' and Guides' virtual camp fire

Camp Fire's Burning

Camp fire's burning, camp fire's burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer
In the gloaming, in the gloaming
Come sing and be merry

A traditional opener, sung to a tune widely known as London's Burning, which refers to the Great Fire of 1666, of course. It's usually sung as a round in four (or two) parts; one group sings the first line and then, as they start on line two, the next group begins on line one, and so on. You can hear the parts in Paul's arrangement.
