We don't keep a grand piano in our hut beside the creek	A
And I'm pretty certain Hannah couldn't bang it anyhow	B
But we've got one box of music and I'd rather hear its squeak	A
Than the daisiest cantata that's been fashioned up to now	B
It's an old camp oven merely with a handle made of wire	C
But no organ built could nearly compensate to me for it	D
When I come off graft and find it playing tunes before the fire	C
And I'm feeling sort of vacant but just wonder fully fit	D
	-
In its sizzle sizzle sizzle	E
There's a thousand little airs	F
And no man can sit and grizzle	E
'Bout his troubles and his cares	F
While the flames are gaily winding	G
And the tea is down to brew	H
And the old camp oven's grinding	G
All the reels he ever knew	H
	-
When the wet winds meet and whip me in the early winter nights	I
And the hissing hailstones clip me all the way across the flat	J
As I battle for'ards water logged toward the beckoning lights	I
There is always there a welcome to console a chap for that	J
For my little wife is beaming brisk and bright beside the lamp	K
And the old camp oven's going Gosh I feel just like a kid	L
As I peel and sluice so slippy and I hear the storm winds vamp	K
To the singing of the oven when the missus lifts the lid	L
	-
There's a sizzle and a splutter	H
And a whirr of many harps	M
Where's the instrument can utter	H
Such a maze of flats and sharps	M
Not for me the great creations	N
When the old camp oven plays	O
'Home Sweet Home ' with variations	N
At the end of working days	O
	-
In the evenings dim and hazy stretched outside along a butt	P
Feeling reasonably lazy blowing clouds that curl and climb	Q
I can hear the old camp oven on the logs before the hut	P
Ripping out a mellow chorus that just suits the place and time	Q
If we strike it in the ranges or The Windmill turns out well	R
I suppose there'll be some changes and I'll want to make things gee	S
But the time will never happen when I'll be so steep a swell	R
That the old camp oven's measure won't be melody to me	S
	-
'Neath its bubble bubble bubble	E
There's the lilt of jigs and reels	T
All the common kind of trouble	E
That the horney handed feels	T
Is wiped out in half a minute	P
By the restfulness it brings	U
And the peaceful rapture in it	D
When the old camp oven sings	U
