My Flower My Companion and Me

Sung by Norma Waterson on Bright Shiny Morning.


Oh the flowers that I loved in the wildwood
They have sent off their beautiful blooms
And the many dear friends of my childhood
Have slumbered for years in their tombs
It's no wonder I'm broken-hearted
Stricken with sorry to be
We have met we have loved we have parted
Oh my flower my companion and me

Oh the rose that I loved I remember
And the smile that I never more shall see
Since the cold bitter winds of December
Stole my flower my companion from me

It's no wonder I'm broken-hearted
Stricken with sorry to be
We have met we have loved we have parted
Oh my flower my companion and me

Ah but think of that bright shiny morning
When our spirits from earth shall be free
And we meet those we've loved in that dawning
Oh my flower my companion and me

It's no wonder I'm broken-hearted
Stricken with sorry to be
We have met we have loved we have parted
Oh my flower my companion and me

It's no wonder I'm broken-hearted
Stricken with sorry to be
We have met we have loved we have parted
Oh my flower my companion and me

We have met we have loved we have parted
Oh my flower my companion and me

Norma Waterson's note from the CD insert:
From the wonderful Helen Schneyer. Helen has a fund of the most wonderful songs and this she sang to us in her house in the woods in Vermont with humming birds on the porch. One of those memories which cling.
