W:I'm lonesome since I cross'd the hill
W:And o'er the moor and valley;

W:How swift the hours did pass away

W:Oh ne'er shall I forget the night,
W:The stars were bright above me,
W:And gently lent their silv'ry light,
W:When first she vow'd she loved me.

W:But now I'm bound to Brighton camp,
W:Kind Heav'n may favor find me,
W:And send me safely back again
W:To the girl I've left behind me.
