W:I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill, And o'er the moor and valley.
W:Such griev-ous thoughts my heart do fill Since parting with my Sally.
W:I seek no more the bright and gay, For each but does remind me
W:How swift the hours did pass away With the girl I've left behind me.

W:Oh, ne'er shall I forget the night; The stars were bright above me,
W:And gently lent their silvery light, When first she vowed to love me.
W:But now I 'm bound for Brighton Camp. Kind heaven, then, to guide me,
W:And send me safely back again To the girl I've left behind me.

W:Her golden hair, in ringlets fair, Her eyes like diamonds shining,
W:Her slender waist with carriage chaste, May leave the swans repining.
W:Ye gods above, oh hear my prayer To my beauteous fair to bind me
W:And send me safely back again To the girl I've left behind me.

W:The bee shall honey taste no more, The dove become a ranger,
W:The falling waters cease to roar, 'Ere I shall seek to change her.
W:The vows we registered above, Shall ever cheer and bind me,
W:In constancy to her I love, The girl I left behind me.
