K:G A1) I'm [G]lonesome since I [C]cross'd the hills, And [G]o'er the moor and [D]valley; With [G]heavy thoughts my [C]mind is fill'd, Since I [D]parted with my [G]Peggy A2) When [G]e'er I return to [C]view the place, The [G]tears doth fall and [D]blind me, When [G]I think on the [C]charming grace Of the [D]girl I left be-[G]hind me. B1) The [G]hours I remember well, When next to see doth move [D]me, The [G]burning flames my [C]heart doth tell, Since [D]first she own'd she [G]lov'd me. B2) In [G]search of some one fair and gay, Several doth remind [D]me; I [G]know my darling [C]loves me well, [D]Tho' I left her be-[G]hind me. A1) The [G]bee shall honey [C]taste no more, And the [G]dove become a [D]ranger; The [G]falling water [C]cease to roar, Be-[D]fore I'll ever [G]change her: A2) Each [G]mortal promise [C]faithful made, By [G]her whose tears doth [D]blind me; And [G]bless the hours I [C]pass away, With the [D]girl I left be-[G]hind me. B1) My [G]mind her image [C]still retains, [G]Whether asleep or [D]waking; I [G]hope to see my [C]dear again, For [D]her my heart is [G]breaking: B2) But if [G]e'er I chance to [C]go that way, And [G]that she has not re-[D]sign'd me; I'll [G]reconcile my [C]mind and stay, With the [D]girl I left be-[G]hind me.
