The Girl I Left Behind Me

[00:00.35] I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill
[00:06.55] And o'er the moorland sedgy
[00:11.06] Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill
[00:16.39] Since parting with my Betsey
[00:22.03] I seek for one as fair and gay
[00:26.32] But find no one to remind me
[00:31.63] How sweet the hours I passed away
[00:36.08] With the girl I left behind me
[00:51.64] O ne'er shall I forget the night
[00:57.41] The stars were bright above me
[01:03.12] And gently lent their silvery light
[01:07.03] When first she vowed to love me
[01:12.68] But now I'm bound to Brighton camp
[01:17.27] Kind heaven then pray guide me
[01:22.86] And send me safely back again
[01:27.99] To the girl I left behind me
[02:23.93] Her golden hair in ringlets fair
[02:29.18] Her eyes like diamonds shining
[02:33.77] Her slender waist, her heavenly face
[02:38.76] That leaves my heart still pining
[02:44.24] Ye gods above oh hear my prayer
[02:48.66] To my beauteous fair to find me
[02:54.65] And send me safely back again
[02:59.31] To the girl I left behind me
[03:55.36] The bee shall honey taste no more
[04:01.07] The dove become a ranger
[04:06.31] The falling waters cease to roar
[04:10.59] Ere I shall seek to change her
[04:15.96] The vows we've made to heav'n above
[04:20.51] Shall ever cheer and bind me
[04:26.14] In constancy to her I love
[04:30.32] The girl I left behind me
[05:15.37] In constancy to her I love
[05:21.49] The girl I left behind me
[05:30.69]
