"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. 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. The first printed text of the song appeared in Dublin in 1791. A popular tune with several variations, "The Girl I Left Behind Me", may have been imported into America around 1650 as 'Brighton Camp', of which a copy dating from around 1796 resides in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

  • The Girl I Left Behind Me (englisch für „Das Mädchen, das ich zurückließ“), manchmal auch nur The Girl I Left Behind, ist ein englisches Volkslied. Es ist vor allem als Soldatenlied bekannt und wird in vielen verschiedenen Textvariationen gesungen. Trotz den unterschiedlichen Hintergründen weisen die meisten bekannten Verse die Gemeinsamkeit auf, dass das Lied die Sehnsucht nach einem zu Hause zurückgelassenen Mädchen ausdrückt; und die Hoffnung, dieses eines Tages wieder sehen zu dürfen. Eine Theorie besagt, dass der Text 1758 während des Siebenjährigen Kriegs bei Truppenbeobachtungen im Hafen von Brest unter den Admirälen Hawke und Rodney entstanden sein könnte, doch ist dies nicht durch Quellen zu belegen.
