Dear Companion

[Verse 1]
I once did have a dear companion
I thought his love to be my own
But then a dark-eyed girl betrayed me
And now he comes no more to me

[Chorus]
Just go and leave me if you wish to
Oh, it will never trouble me
If in your heart you love another
Then in my grave I'd rather be

[Verse 2]
Last night when you were sweetly sleepin'
Dreamin' in some sweet repose
Well, I, a poor girl broken-hearted
Just listen to the wind that blows

[Verse 3]
When I see your baby laughin'
It makes me think of your sweet face
But when I see your baby cryin'
It makes me think of my disgrace

[Chorus]
Just go and leave me if you wish to
Oh, it will never trouble me
If in your heart you love another
Then in my grave I'd rather be
