The Girl I
Left Behind Me I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill And o'er the moor and valley Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill Since parting from my Sally I seek no more the fine and gay For each doth but remind me How swiftly passed the hours away With the girl I left behind me. I seek no more the fine and gay For each doth but remind me How swiftly passed the hours away With the girl I left behind me. Oh ne'er shall I forget that night The stars were bright above me And gently lent their silv'ry light When first she vowed to love me But now I'm bound for Brighton camp Kind heaven then pray guide me And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me. But now I'm bound for Brighton camp Kind heaven then pray guide me And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me. Her golden hair in ringlets fair Her eyes like diamonds shining Her slender waist, with carriage chaste May leave the swain repining Ye Gods above! Oh hear my prayer! Thy beauteous fair to bind me And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me. Ye Gods above! Oh hear my prayer! Thy beauteous fair to bind me And send me safely back again To the girl I left behind me. Repeat first verse |
