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