Way, way up above, was mentioned the popularity of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" with soldiers during The War Between the States.
Confederate troops samg it, much like the DT version "The Girl I left Behind Me" (no modifiers), but with this chorus:

But if ever I get thro' this war,
And Lincoln's boys don't bind me,
I'll make my way right back again
To the girl I left behind me.

A good source of Confederate Songs

The fifth couplet is:
The bees shall lavish, make no store,
And the dove become a ranger.
The falling water cease to roar,
Before I'll ever change her.

Many sing 'the bees shall languish,' destroying the meaning.
