Dear Companion

Lyrics

Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me; They say he's gone to a far-off country And he cares no more for me Do you remember that day last summer The sun so high, the sky so blue; The little birds all sang so sweetly The day I gave my heart to you Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me; They say he's gone to court another And so he cares no more for me Oh, when the dark falls on the mountain And all the world has gone to sleep I will go down by the bedrock waters And there I'll lay me down and weep Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me; But now the stars have turned against me And so he cares no more for me I wish I was some sparrow flying I'd fly to a high and lonesome place There join the bluebirds in their crying Remembering you and your dear face CODA: 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
