once did i have a dear companionindeed i thought his love my ownuntil a black-eyed girl betrayed meand then he cared no more for mejust go and leave me if you wish toit will never trouble mefor in your heart you love anotherand in my grave i'd rather belast night you were so sweetly sleepingdreamed a name such sweet rapportwhile me a poor girl lay broken heartedlistening to the wind that blowswhen i see your baby laughingit makes me think of your sweet facebut when i see your baby cryingit makes me think of my disgracei wish i was some little sparrowand i had wings and i could flyi'd fly away to my own true loveand when he called it i'd be nighbut i ain't no little sparrowSongtextei ain't got wings and i can't flyso i'll sit right here in grief and sorrowi'll sit right here until i diei'll go down to yonder's riveri'll spend my months my weeks my yearsand i'll leave nothing but reunionand i'll drink nothing but my tears Aus Songtexte Mania
