Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Girl I Left Behind Me, The

 C                   G            F    

I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill  

     C                         

And o'er the moor and valley.  

    C                 G         F     

Suchheavy thoughts my heart do fill,  

       G              C       

Since parting with my Sally.  

  C       Am    G    Am  G     C  

I seek no more the fine and gay,  

              Am G Am   G   

For each does butremind me  

    C                   G     F    

How swift the hours did pass away  

          G               C         

With the girl I've left behind me.  

      C                        G  F 

Oh ne'er shall I forget the night,  

        C                        

The stars were bright above me,  

    C                  G        F     

And gently lent their silv'ry light,  

     G                    C         

When first she vowed she loved me.  

    C       Am    G   Am   G     C   

But now I'm bound to Brighton camp,  

                Am G   Am  G    

Kind Heav'n may favour findme,  

    C              G     F     

And send me safely back again  

       G                C         

To the girl I've left behind me.
