Dear Companion

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
