Dear Companion



I once did have a dear companion

Indeed I thought his love my own

Until a dark eyed girl betrayed me

And then he cares no more for me



Just go and leave me if you wish to

It will never trouble me

For in your heart you love another

And in my grave I'd rather be



Last night you were sweetly sleeping

Dreaming in some sweet repose

While I, a poor girl, broken hearted

Listened to the wind that blows



When I see your babe a laughing

It makes me think of your sweet face

But when I see your babe a crying

It makes me think of my disgrace
