The Girl I left behind Me.I’m lonesome since I cross’d the hillsAnd o’er the moor that’s sedgy;With heavy thoughts my mind is fill’d,Since I parted with Peggy.Whene’er I turn to view the place,The tears doth fall and blind me,When I think on the charming graceOf the girl I left behind me.The hours I remember well,When next to see doth move me,The burning flames my heart doth tell,Since first she own’d she loved me.In search of some one fair and gay,Several doth remind me;I know my darling loves me well,Though I left her behind me.The bees shall lavish, make no store,And the dove become a ranger,The fallen water cease to roar,Before I’ll ever change her.Each mutual promise faithful made,By her whose tears doth blind me,And bless the hours I pass away,With the girl I left behind me.My mind her image full retains,Whether asleep or awaken’d;I hope to see my jewel again,For her my heart is breaking.But if ever I do go that way,And she has not resign’d me,I’ll reconcile my mind and stayWith the girl I left behind me.
