Girl I Left Behind Me sing and play along

I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill,

and o'er the moor and valley.

Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill since parting with my

Sally. I seek no more the fine and gay,

for each does but remind me how swift the hours did pass away with the girl I left behind me.

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

and gently lent their silv'ry light when first she vowed she loved me.

But now I'm bound to Brighton Camp,

kind heav'n may favor find me,

and send me safely back again to the girl I left behind me.

Oh, hind me.
