lirik lagu tennessee ernie ford - the girl i left behind me
the hours sad i left a maid
a lingering farewell taking
whose sighs and tears my steps delayed
i thought her heart was breaking
in hurried words her name i blest
i breathed the vows that bind me
and to my heart in anguish pressed
the girl i left behind me
then to the south we bore away
to win a name in story
and there where dawns the sun of day
there dawned our sun of glory
the place in my sight
when in the host -ssigned me
i shared the glory of that fight
sweet girl i left behind me
though many a name our banner bore
of former deeds of daring
but they were of the day of seventy six
in which we had no sharing
but now our laurels freshly won
with the old one shall entwine me
still worthy of our sires each son
sweet girl i left behind me
the hope of final victory
within my bosom burning
is mingling with sweet thoughts of thee
and of my fond returning
but should i n’eer return again
still with thy love i’ll bind me
dishonors breath shall never stain
the name i leave behind me
