Lyrics
Dear Companion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
