letra de the girl i left behind me - derek warfield

Loading...

[chorus]
all the dames of france are fond and free
and flemish lips are willing
and soft the maids of italy
and spanish eyes are thrilling
still, ‘though i bask beneath their smile
their charms will fail to bind me;
and my heart falls back to erin’s isle
to the girl i left behind me

[verse 1]
for she’s as fair as sionainn’s side
and purer than it’s water;
and she refused to be my bride
though many a year i sought her
and then, to france, i sailed away
but her letters oft’ remind me:
that i promised nеver to again see
the girl i left bеhind me

[verse 2]
she says: “my own dear love come home
my friends are rich and many
or else, abroad, with you i’ll roam-
a soldier, stout, as any
if you’ll not come, nor let me go
i’ll think you’ll have resigned me.”
my heart ‘n i broke when i answered “no”
to the girl i left behind me
[verse 3]
for never shall my true love brave
a life of war and toiling
i’ll never, as a skulking slave
my native land, be soiling
but were it “free or to be freed”
the battle, close, would find me
to ireland bound would a message leave
to the girl i left behind me

[chorus]
all the dames of france are fair and free
and flemish lips are willing
and soft the maids of italy
and spanish eyes are thrilling
and though i bask beneath their smile
their charms will fail to bind me
my heart flies back to erin’s isle
to the girl i left behind me
