Bluegrass Songs - Have you seen my dear companion

Have you seen my dear companion

Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
They say a strange girl has betrayed me
And that he cares no more for me

Don't you remember the day last summer
The sun so warm the skies so blue
The little birds did sing so sweetly
The day I feel in love with you

Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
But now the stars have turned against me
And so he cares no more for me

Oh when the dark falls on the mountain
When all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down by the fair bright waters
And there I'll set me down and weep

Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
I hear he's gone to some far country
And that he cares no more for me

I wish that I were some swallow flying
I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
There join those little birds in their crying
Remembering you and your dear face

Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
