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.
My mind her form shall still retain,
In sleeping or in waking,
Until I see my love again,
For whom my heart is breaking.
If ever I should see the day,
When Marsh shall have resigned me,
Forever more I'll gladly stay,
With the girl I left behind me.
Forever more I'll gladly stay,
With the girl I left behind me.
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.
My mind her form shall still retain,
In sleeping or in waking,
Until I see my love again,
For whom my heart is breaking.
If ever I should see the day,
When Marsh shall have resigned me,
Forever more I'll gladly stay,
With the girl I left behind me.
Forever more I'll gladly stay,
With the girl I left behind me.
