Oh have you seen my dear companion
|
For he was all this world to me
|
I hear he's gone to some far country
|
And that he cares no more for me
|
|
I wish I were a swallow flying
|
I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
|
I'd join the wild birds in their crying
|
Thinking of you and your sweet face
|
|
Oh have you seen my dear companion
|
For he was all this world to me
|
But now the stars have turned against me
|
And he cares no more for me
|
|
Oh when the dark is on the mountain
|
And all the world has gone to sleep
|
I will go down to the cold dark waters
|
And there I'll lay me down and weep
|
|
Oh have you seen my dear companion
|
Oh have you seen my dear companion
|
Oh have you seen my dear companion
|
For he was all this world to me
|
