| I'm lonesome since / cross'd the hill,
And Ger the moon and valley:
| Such heavy thoughts my heart do
fill,
Since parting with my Sally
| / seek no more the fine and gay.
| For each does but remind me,
How swift the hours did pass away
| With the girl I've left behind me.
Oh. ne'er shall l forget the night.
The stars We're bright above me;
| And gently lent their silvr.y 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've left behind me.
The bee shall honey taste no more.
The dove become n ranger
The dashing waves shall cease to
| roar.
/ Fer she's to me a stranger;
/ The vows we've registered above
| Shall ever cheer and bind me
/ In constancy to her / love
The girl I've left behind me.
My mind her form shall still retain
In sleeping or in waking
i Until / see my love again
For whom my heart is breaking.
| IL ever should see the day
When Mars shall have resigned me,
| For evermore I'll gladly stay
With the girl I've left behind me.
