1960s closing campfire favorite makes a return.Tom Paxton's "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" was a favorite song around here from around the time of its release in the early 60s through at least the late 70s. I can remember singing it, guitars a-strummin', around campfires on hiking trips and around CQ fires and of course at closing campfires. This week I teamed up with a Windsong camper, the very talented Kira Metcalf-Oshinsky, and prepared to sing it at this session's closing campfire. We sang it tonight and here is a recording. Our voices are compromised somewhat by post-Olympic strain, but the "voice comes ringing through" (as the song goes) nonetheless.
Above is a photo taken at the CIT Point campfire just before the campers arrived.
Here are the lyrics (and chords) to the Paxton song.
