Campfire Songs
Fire on the Mountain
(The quintessential Philmont backcountry campfire song)
`Dirty Larry` of The Tobasco Donkeys says Fire on the Mountian is
"the most popular song played at backcountry campfires....
I used to think that perhaps it was getting played too much and at too many campfires,
but I was just young and silly back then.
Becuase I know that when I return in 10 years, and sit down at the Black Mountian Campfire,
I had better hear those words, `Took my family away from my Carolina home...`"
