Great Britain | The British Grenadiers & The Girl I left behind Me ( CC )

The British Grenadiers" is a traditional marching song of British and Commonwealth military units whose badge of identification features a grenade, the tune of which dates from the 17th century. It is the regimental quick march of the Royal Artillery (since 1716), the Corps of Royal Engineers (since 1787), the Honourable Artillery Company (since 1716), the Grenadier Guards (since 1763), and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (since 1763). It is also an authorized march of the Royal Australian Artillery, the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, the Canadian Grenadier Guards, the Royal Regiment of Canada, and the Princess Louise Fusiliers. The standard orchestration for the military band was approved in 1762, when the Royal Artillery Band (initiated in 1557) became recognized officially and for all other "grenade" regiments in 1763 when the remaining unofficial bands gained official status

=========================================
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these
But of all the world's brave heroes, there's none that can compare.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers

Whene'er we are commanded to storm the palisades,
Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades.
We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers

Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those
Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loopèd clothes.
May they and their commanders live happy all their years.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row to the British Grenadiers

The Girl I Left Behind", also known as "The Girl I Left Behind Me", is an English folk song dating back to the Elizabethan era.[1] It is said to have been played when soldiers left for war or a naval vessel set sail. According to other sources the song originated in 1758 when English Admirals Hawke and Rodney were observing the French fleet.[1] The first printed text of the song appeared in Dublin in 1791.

=========================================
I'm lonesome since I crossed the Hills
And o'er the moor and valley
Such grievous thoughts my heart do fill,
Since parting with my Sally
I seek no more the find or gay ( means happy Maybe )
For each does but remind me
How swift the hours did pass away,
With The Girl I left behind me.

O ne'er shall I forgot the night
The Stars were bright above me
and gently lent their silvery light
When first she vowed to love me
But now I'm bound to Brighton camp
Kind heaven then pray guide me
And send me safely back again,
To The Girl I left Behind me
