THE GIRL THEY LEFT nEuIND
IHEM


There beside the camp fire cleaning,
In dark and muddy trench;
shells were bursting every where,
And the sitting smoke was dense.
Men were sitting all around il.
Men from all the nations wide;
All were lighting for our freedom,
Fighting for the allied cause;
All had left a Girl behind him,
a loved one or mother dear,
And in that bright camp fire.
Saw their loved one very near.
Some were from old bonnie Scotland,
Some from the bright Emerald Isle,
But they had left Il girl behind them,
Pining for their boys bright smile;
Some were brave Americans,
Some wero French and English too,
But at home their loved ones waited,
waiting for their soldier true.
Now that this war is over,
And the victory is won.
Home our boys will be coming,
All are Freedoms gallant sons;
But they have not forgotten
Their loved ones that stayed at home,
While their soldier boys were fighting,
Ear away across the foam.
And over there where they are fighting.
Trying hard to do their part,
But the girl they left behind them,
Is the main thing in their heart
