Dear Companion
I once did have a dear companionIndeed I thought his love my ownUntil a dark eyed girl betrayed meAnd then he cares no more for meJust go and leave me if you wish toIt will never trouble meFor in your heart you love anotherAnd in my grave I'd rather beLast night you were sweetly sleepingDreaming in some sweet reposeWhile I, a poor girl, broken heartedListened to the wind that blowsWhen I see your babe a laughingIt makes me think of your sweet faceBut when I see your babe a cryingIt makes me think of my disgrace
