Dear Companion

Lyrics

Once I had a dear companion
 Indeed I thought his love my own
 But then a dark-eyed girl persuaded
 Now he cares for me no more
 O, go and leave me if you want to
 That will never trouble me
 If it's in your heart to love another
 Then in my grave I would rather be
 Many a night while you lie sleeping
 Dreaming in your sweet repose
 There's me, poor girl, lies here a-weeping
 Listening to the wind that blows
 When I see your baby laughing
 It makes me think of your sweet face
 But when I hear your baby crying
 It makes me think on my disgrace
 I am writing you a letter
 Telling you that you are free
 From this moment and forever
 I will care no more for thee
