Dear Companion

Lissa Schneckenburger

THE DEAR COMPANION Source: “80 Appalachian Folk Songs” collected by Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles Once I had a dear companion Indeed I thought his love my own Until a black eyed girl betrayed me And now he cares no more for me Just go and leave me if you wish to And it will never trouble me For in your heart you love another And in my grave I’d rather be Last night while you were sweetly sleeping Dreaming in some soft repose While I a poor girl, sad broken hearted Listen to the wind that blows When I see your babe laughing It makes me think of your sweet face But when I see your babe crying It makes me think of my disgrace Just go and leave me if you wish to And it will never trouble me For in your heart you love another And in my grave I’d rather be In the dark the blackbird’s silent And at the dawn the blackbird crows And if I had my own true lover I would not cry again I know I would not cry again I know --- Dear Companion - ChildsPlay and Lissa Schneckenburger
