The guard is broken!!
Alright Scots Greys CHARGE THOSE RASCALS
You blaggards!
Present the colours!!!
During the American revolution Swiss mercenaries fighting with the British picked up on this tune and brought it home to Switzerland where it has developed into our own traditional March "Arabi". It is still played frequently at events such as the Basel Fasnacht.
Wow, I never knew the British had Swiss fighting in their ranks. I know they recruited heavily in the German provinces.
@@zyzor you by😅
That's so endearing god bless the Swiss, love from England
Erm, it has been 2 years but I can't let this stand as it is. As a fellow Swiss I am sorry to disappoint but Arabi is NOT based on "The Girl I Left Behind". It is, however, based on an even more famous British march: the British Grenadier March!
The girl I left behind is 1862 song
Sad that we rarely hear beautiful, stirring, tunes line this today. It is so obvious that music like this was written to inspire and uplift the human spirit. Today, these old tunes just remind us of a time that has long since passed.
Times were pretty hard and miserable
@@hughmungus1518 I swear Morden music is just a bunch of tunes mashed together and they repeat the same line for like 99. Of the song
@@centurionedward2934 One of the many reasons I dislike modern music.
Our warfare should go back to muskets
A time that has long since passed accurately describes when TF2 would get updated and Jerma videos
I love this March.
One of the most lively tunes ever written.
I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill
And over the moor that's sedgy
Such lonely thoughts my heart do fill
Since parting with my Betsey
I seek for one as fair and gay
But find none to remind me
How sweet the hours I passed away
With the girl I left behind me
Sorry the lyrics are la la La la im lonesome since I crossed the hill and o'er the moor and valley such grievous thought my heart do fill since my parting from my sally I seek no more to fine or gay for each what to remind me how swift the hours did pass away with the girl I left behind me o ne'ne shall forget the night, the stars were above me and gently lent their silv'ry when she vowed to love me but and bring me back to safety with the girl I left behind me
@@hansbaccay4541there are more than 1 version

Love this song thanks for uploading!
He's a good taste in music
*Outro
impressive song, heard at movie "waterloo"
Cult movie
@@RS-rv4hz what you mean cult movie?
@@centurionedward2934
It's a movie that only a few handful of people enjoy.
@@sauceyeti4381 and?
@@sauceyeti4381 oh do you mean that not many people enjoy jt
This is a certified San Sebastian classic🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯🔥
We're gonna make it off San Sebastian with this tune
Славься Британия! Боже храни Короля! 😊❤
The g&b fans are even here😎
Yup
Yoooo my childhood youtuber plays G&B?
1:46 The whole song, especially its beginning, is incredibly good, but this part really stands out to me, so touching and thrilling.
Three cheers for the British Army.
Thank you.
And maybe one for the Pirate spy while we’re at it.
Alternative lyrics (care of my late Father - Royal Artillery):
Oh the black cat piddled in the white cat's eye
And the white cat said "Gor Blimey"
So the Black cat said "You silly old sod
You shouldn't have been behind me!"
Me playing this banger while the two sappers and single seaman struggle to get to the next respawn area
FORWARRRRDD!🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD-BROUGHT ME HERE....
God Bless The British Army.
Thanks.
Man these paintings are great!
Well if I ever saw 30,000 men run a race before.
Эта Британская музыка и Вся британская музыка отличается Светлым настроем. Она не пугает и не угрожает, не впадает в патетику или истерику. Она настраивает солдата сделать свое дело (не больше и не меньше) причем с английской бодростью и чувством юмора , оставаясь человеком и воином при этом.
I find it more terrifying that british marching songs are so merry, and joyful. As a french soldier hearing them advance must be surreal seeing a wall of red marching to whimsical tunes before they unload lead into you amd your boys at a murderous rate.
"Get moving damn your eyes!"
This was amazing! Truly is an amazing song! Good choice of photos! 👍
Civil History thank you very much!
Beautiful tune. And the underlay of 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' only enhances it.
This is amazing best version I’ve ever seen/heard
thank you so much it means a lot!
Military History HQ where did you even find this version?
You should also check out the version from the movie Waterloo if you haven't already. It's quite short, but by God is it brilliant.
@@tsev3362 I have seen the movies one of my favourite movies
@@captaincookie1286 Heh, it's easily my favourite one.
this brings back 1750s memories
Being lonely never sounded more cheerful! :D
Having grown up with western movies, I always associated this song with the US cavalry.
How dare you! Keep yer mitts off.
This was in the John Wayne film "She wore a Yellow Ribbon"
Rather happy tune for a sad title
Is this the pirates ice cream truck?
Yes.
@British Pride Well yes, also im not a fan of UK/Britain but i occasionally listen to Marching songs and other shieet, it keeps my mood fam.
@British Pride mad cuz bad
Were getting out of San Sebastian on this one 🗣️🔥🗣️🔥

Still has nothing to do with pirates
It’s the worst part of this whole thing!
1:30 I really like this part
Brought across The Pond in the dank steerage of coffin ships by Scots and Irish immigrants who had "taken the King's shilling" in the old country and who now sought to acclimate and gain acceptance in their newly adopted homeland via military service, this song became a favorite of the American armed forces, particularly the US Cavalry. It was with this tune that the 7th Cavalry band serenaded "Yellow Hair" Custer and his trooper as they set off on the campaign that would terminate in the rolling hills along the Greasy Grass.
You don't think English immigrants were on those coffin ships
I suppose al the English immigrants were up in First Class. What a load of tosh you spout. Ah I forgot there weren't any. They were all Scots/Irish.
Don't destroy their fairy stories...@@steveforster9764
It’s an English song
Stupid Yankee
Here we go again, coffin ships ,nasty English ,famine,it was us what it all.Fkg boring Celtic whiners.
I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill,
And over the moorland sedgy,
Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill,
Since parting from my Sally.
I seek no more the fine and gay,
For each does just remind me
How sweet the hours I passed away,
With the girl I left behind me.
O ne'er shall I forget that 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.
0:52 when you see the charging British at Waterloo :flushed:
And then the Polish Lancers arrive
@@mr.sebak2136 what?
@@mr.sebak2136 : I think you mean French lancers.
Bloody hell, its beautiful!
Salvation lies beyond the river

It's the best I've ever heard. This music teacher is setting up great musicians for the future.
This just reminds me of how our middle school band will never reach this amount of talent

I heard about this song reading about Custer's Last Stand
The military song ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me’ has both Irish and English origins, depending on the version and the lyrics. According to the web search results, the melody is derived from a traditional Irish melody known as An Spailpín Fánach, meaning “The Wandering Labourer”, which was collected by Edward Bunting in The Ancient Music of Ireland (1840) .
It was originally British,but the first printed version was released in Dublin .
Is this music royalty free/free from copyright to use in a podcast?
No. This recording is copyrighted by Mark Custom Recording Service, Inc.
Unfortunately not this one but there's got to be a version, I doubt the actual tune itself is still copyrighted
This is jerma's pirate song
@Fusilier oh because you're making it much better aren't you pal?
@@its_deer Seems to have shut them up
I feel like I've heard part of this tune before (the 'sad' part) but there were lyrics. Perhaps it's a different song.
Nope. The song also has lyrics
No Gllpllllllllp

This is a freedom march song that needs to be played at every anti lock down and vaccine passport protest !!
Freedom march song? This song is just a soldier, "bound to Brighton camp" singing about missing his "sally" back home.
@@ironmatic1 Maybe so but it was sung in many revolutionary campaigns.
What you mean by that?
@@centurionedward2934 It was played in revolutionary wars during battle marches.
@@viking670 Wot you meant by the 1st comment you made Why should it be played at anti Stuff protests?
i prefer lilli burlero but nice song too

Great pirate music
Great version, just a mention so many people seem to think this is Irish in origins and nicked by the Brits, sorry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_I_Left_Behind
To be fair it does say the earliest known version is from dublin
@@heggy_69 No, first printed text in Dublin.
Gray: It was originally English but the first PRINTED version was Irish.
@@paganphil100 spot on Philip.

The Irony is it sounds so much more American than English these days. Very pomp and ceremony and brass band. Not like a good british battle song.
