[00:01.59]There was a wealthy farmer lived in a country nearby
[00:05.40]He had a lovely daughter on whom one cast an eye
[00:09.54]She was so handsome pretty
[00:11.31]And indeed so very fair
[00:13.57]There was no other girl with whom
[00:15.74]This young man could compare
[00:17.65]He asked if she was willing
[00:19.65]For him to cross o'er the glen
[00:21.77]She said no difference it would
[00:23.27]Make if he returned again
[00:25.78]To him she said she would stay true
[00:27.82]'Till death should prove unkind
[00:29.74]They kissed shook hands
[00:30.88]And parted then he left his girl behind
[00:33.79]The girl he left behind
[00:35.82]The girl he left behind
[00:37.84]The girl he left behind

[00:49.93]
[00:58.56]He travelled to the city
[01:00.26]Through the rainy weather sleet and snow
[01:02.52]Everyone so friendly picked him up when he was low
[01:06.44]Work and money proved plentiful
[01:08.34]And girls they proved so kind
[01:10.26]But the only object of his mind
[01:12.16]Was the girl he left behind
[01:14.24]The girl he left behind
[01:16.24]The girl he left behind

[01:28.24]The girl he left behind
[01:30.47]
[02:02.43]As he was hanging round one day down
[02:04.51]At the public square
[02:06.13]The mail coach had arrived
[02:07.59]And so he met the mail boy there
[02:10.13]A letter clear addressed to him
[02:12.17]That helped him understand
[02:13.90]That the girl he left in
[02:15.30]Morayshire had married another man
[02:18.06]Come all you rambling gambling boys
[02:20.22]And listen to this yarn
[02:22.10]For no good comes of gambling gold it
[02:24.29]May well bring ye harm
[02:26.17]If ere you court a young fair maid
[02:28.18]Just marry her while ye can
[02:29.96]For if ere you cross
[02:31.22]O'er the glen she'll marry another man
[02:34.14]The girl he left behind
[02:36.15]The girl he left behind
[02:38.13]The girl he left behind
