Girl I Left Behind Me

I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill,

and o'er the moor and valley.

Such heavy thoughts my (Bb)heart do fill since (C)parting with my

(F)Sally. I seek no (C7)more the (F)fine and gay,

for each does (C7)but (F)remind (C7)me how (F)swift the hours did (Bb)pass away with the (C)girl I left (F)behind (C)me.

(F)Oh, ne'er shall I forget the night the stars were bright above me,

and gently lent their (Bb)silv'ry light when (C)first she vowed she (F)loved me.

But now I'm (C7)bound to (F)Brighton Camp,

kind heav'n may (C7)favor (F)find (C7)me,

and (F)send me safely (Bb)back again to the (C)girl I left (F)behind me.

(F)Oh, hind me.
