Dear Companion歌词

[00:05.25]once did i have a dear companion
[00:12.06]indeed i thought his love my own
[00:18.31]until a black-eyed girl betrayed me
[00:24.93]and then he cared no more for me
[00:32.06]just go and leave me if you wish to
[00:45.00]it will never trouble me
[00:50.87]for in your heart you love another
[00:57.43]and in my grave i'd rather be
[01:09.12]last night you were so sweetly sleeping
[01:15.93]dreamed a name such sweet rapport
[01:22.31]while me a poor girl lay broken hearted
[01:29.06]listening to the wind that blows
[01:40.87]when i see your baby laughing
[01:47.12]it makes me think of your sweet face
[01:53.12]but when i see your baby crying
[01:60.00]it makes me think of my disgrace
[02:13.06]i wish i was some little sparrow
[02:19.25]and i had wings and i could fly
[02:25.87]i'd fly away to my own true love
[02:32.62]and when he called it i'd be nigh
[02:44.69]but i ain't no little sparrow
[02:50.25]i ain't got wings and i can't fly
[02:56.81]so i'll sit right here in grief and sorrow
[03:03.25]i'll sit right here until i die
[03:15.62]i'll go down to yonder's river
[03:21.81]i'll spend my months my weeks my years
[03:27.75]and i'll leave nothing but reunion
[03:34.69]and i'll drink nothing but my tears
