Turkey Creek String Band - "The Girl I Left Behind Me"

[@MalarkySparky]

Theres something about hearing string instruments more live like this that hits so much better

[@lami1253]

Jerma and Star_ brought me here. This song is more wonderful than I expected!

[@Thrawn6211]

I've heard this song played with pipe & drum, fife & drum, the fiddle, etc. It just goes to show how many folk songs originated in Ireland and made their way over here. Anyways, this is a fantastic rendition.

[@gray3553]

Think you'll find its Anglo/Irish

[@gray3553]

Its ENGLISH...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_I_Left_Behind,

[@okand2960]

That girl i left behind me was made by the anglo/irish but it originated in an irish song called "Brighton camp"

[@DavidSternburgYt]

​@@okand2960 It didnt, even the name suggests its english, 'Brighton Camp' was a british army camp setup, in you guest it, Brighton (southern England)

[@Wotsitorlabart]

​@@okand2960 No evidence at all that it is Irish in origin.

[@TimCockayne]

What a great interpretation of that fine old English Elizabethan folk tune. Thank you :-)

[@parisan9985]

Irish Search "An Spailpin Fanach"

[@TimCockayne]

@@parisan9985 it's an English Morris tune from Norfolk. First played in the earlier part of the 17th century. As all folk music follows the aural tradition it was written as notation until 1799 and then again in the mid-19th century. Like most folk tunes it was picked up and used by the English and then British army from the 17th century onwards. Becoming popular throughout the British colonies. It is usually heard being played on the accordion or squeezebox with the fiddle seconding. This tune is a lot older than the tune you quote.

[@DavidSternburgYt]

​@@TimCockayne Americans dont understand traditions in the British Isles they have this hollywood tinted fantasy which far wqrps what is really there, in terms of England or the 'British' (as the incorrectly call just Britian) they dont understand has its own traditions and folk music and only views the country as an evil empire like out of something from star wars

[@Kiipii]

wow... the best version of "the girl i left behind me" I've ever heard Greetings from Spain ^^

[@fractuss]

Gets me misty-eyed.

[@kowens1956]

It's also called Brighton Camp. A British Army song usually played while moving out after breaking camp. Also traditional in the US Army for leaving camp.

[@BBYMRLCCOTN]

Yes, it was known in this country by at least 1650. It's very very old.

[@francishuddy9462]

It's an English Army tune 👍🇮🇪🇬🇧 We played it when we defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo ... 👍🇮🇪🇬🇧

[@anghinetti]

Even older than that. Traditional English folk song from the second half of the 16th century.

[@weinerexplosion]

@@anghinetti And it still inspires us backwoods boys, as do the winsome players!

[@Wotsitorlabart]

​@@anghinetti Earliest evidence of the tune/song from the late 1700's.

[@YourDoctor247]

amazing

[@Pigzit]

Every comment I'm seeing here is about the Pirate Shpee. It's sad and fuckin hilarious all at the same time! XD

[@SerperiorSC2]

+Pigzit It's just plain sad.

[@SirPetterTheFirst]

I find it weird American don't know its a old Irish marching song but still they adopted it like its there own

[@jimflynn5223]

I'm sure they do. Lovely music. Ireland

[@anghinetti]

@@jimflynn5223: It is, in fact, an English folk song from the latter part of the 16th century.

[@qwertyman6945]

There is a lot of Irish decent in America the n the south when the civil war they adopted this song and played in battle

[@alucardvanhelsing8387]

[@Depressed_Cokehead]

How does this relate to pirates

[@LynLyn_]

It was written by two pirates who made it their goal to protect a pile of garbage

[@UnderFried]

Da

[@brandonflorida1092]

The army marched to this song during the first half of the 19th century.

[@bargarberta6976]

[@Doc-Blitzkrieg]

[@ryanm2279]

[@DarkRockerTom]

Must be for the pirates Ice-cream truck

[@zyzor]

It was a popular British folk song because the poor redcoats who enlisted out of necessity in the 1700’s were constantly on the move all around the world and never home with their gals for more than a short while

"Worst part about this whole thing, I don't know if you realize, thats not a pirate song, thats like an American marching band song xD has nothing to do with pirates" Oh how I miss you STAR_

[@lawofscotland]

*British march called 'Brighton Camp'

[@andrewlagno9482]

aarongaming100 **Irish folk song

[@spartan4576]

Universal song originally an Irish folk song later turned British/us marching song

[@Wotsitorlabart]

​@@spartan4576 No evidence that the song is Irish in origin.

[@martinkasa6664]

There's one reason I came here "star_"

[@depsatico1834]

ok, now listen to the music.

[@cliffordhewitt5471]

POORATE SPHEE

[@TheMk7master]

First Irish, then English, and now American.

[@samuelkeeble2580]

As with all folk songs.

[@samuelkeeble2580]

painfully

[@wdavis6814]

Samuel Keeble said it.

[@LordDragonZord]

I thought this was a pirate song.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

​@@samuelkeeble2580 It may be nine years ago but....... your comment sadly shows your ignorance of Irish and British folk songs. 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' (original name 'Brighton Camp') is not Irish in origin. And come to think of it neither are 'The Wild Rover', 'The Black Velvet Band', 'The Jug of Punch' or the tune to 'Star of the County Down'. Guess as to where all the above 'Irish classics' originated.
