Just musing. Anyone wants the tune could try here:
the "original" lyric went something like: http://mysongbook.de/msb/songs/h/hardtmof.html

Chorus:

Oh the hard times on Camino
On Camino there’s very hard times

Sing:

Pity all Peregrinos who’ve followed the call
To follow the “Way”, and be part of it all,
That modern adventure to St James' stall

Chorus

Albergues and hostels and hotels are all shut
Aside from a few that have opened up but
There’s a short list of “do’s” and a long of “do nots”

Chorus

You can carry your hand-gel, your sleep sack and hope
That your bunk-mates not carrying, it’s a slippery slope
To catching a virus with which you can’t cope

Chorus

Remember Ozymandias, buried by sands?
Defeating this virus remains in your hands
So come hopeful pilgrim, stay in your own lands

Chorus

Come all Peregrinos and stand to your ground
If we all stand together we can turn this around
And the pathways we love, again, will resound, with

Oh the good times on Camino
On Camino very good times
 
A selection of Camino Jewellery
Great or tiny, every step you make on the camino is forward.
Not good at arranging lyrics though.
:)

The Imagined Village project https://realworldrecords.com/releases/the-imagined-village/ brought together some of British Folk's finest and threw two very stiff fingers up to those who look askance at our glorious multi-cultural society. Benjamin Zephaniah and Johnny Kalsi, Sheila Chandra, Carthy and daughter...

Oh I miss live music. Even 4 pints of Cider and the amp turned up to 11 doesn't quite do ;)
