Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
I hear he's gone to
come far country
And that he cares no more for me
I wish i were a swallow flying
I'd
fly to a high and lonesome place
I'd join the wild birds in their crying
Thinking of you
and your sweet face
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to
me
But now the stars have turned against me
And he cares no more for me
Oh when
the dark is on the mountain
And all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down to the cold
waters
And there i'll lay me down and weep
