Dear Companion

As Sung By Judy Cook

I once did have a dear companion,
Indeed I thought his love my own
Until a black-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 would rather be

Last night you were sweetly sleeping
Dreaming in some sweet repose
While I, a poor girl, broken hearted
Listen 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

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 would rather be
