Old Campbell Farm (Honoring Scott Campbell)

Unpublished

He was the conductor of the band
With a triangle in his hand
On a train from Chicago
Out to the Cal Neva Casino
Prepared and ready to take a chance
At the Campbell Barnyard Dance
With family and friends
In a circle that never bends

Out on the old Campbell Farm

Always one to build up
Never one to tear apart
He could turn a piece of junk
Into a piece of art
Don’t matter if you can sing
Be you right, left or chicken wing
What mattered most to him
Was family and friends

Out on the old Campbell Farm

Standing on hallowed grounds
Where we are standing now

Holding onto the tie that binds
With Pam by his side
Zipping out on the zip line
Sliding down that water slide
Into the Mississippi River that flows
Along the banks of their home
With family and friends
In a circle that never bends

Out on the old Campbell Farm

Making love in the summer sun
When the workday is done
With family and friends
In a circle never bends
