[00:05.24]Once did i have a dear companion
[00:12.05]Indeed i thought his love my own
[00:18.31]Until a black-eyed girl betrayed me
[00:24.93]And then he cared no more for me
[00:32.05]Just go and leave me if you wish to
[00:44.99]It will never trouble me
[00:50.87]For in your heart you love another
[00:57.43]And in my grave i'd rather be
[01:09.12]Last night you were so sweetly sleeping
[01:15.93]Dreamed a name such sweet rapport
[01:22.30]While me a poor girl lay broken hearted
[01:29.06]Listening to the wind that blows
[01:40.87]When i see your baby laughing
[01:47.12]It makes me think of your sweet face
[01:53.12]But when i see your baby crying
[01:59.99]It makes me think of my disgrace
[02:13.05]I wish i was some little sparrow
[02:19.24]And i had wings and i could fly
[02:25.86]I'd fly away to my own true love
[02:32.62]And when he called it i'd be nigh
[02:44.68]But i ain't no little sparrow
[02:50.24]I ain't got wings and i can't fly
[02:56.81]So i'll sit right here in grief and sorrow
[03:03.24]I'll sit right here until i die
[03:15.62]I'll go down to yonder's river
[03:21.81]I'll spend my months my weeks my years
[03:27.75]And i'll leave nothing but reunion
[03:34.68]And i'll drink nothing but my tears
