"Dear Companion" is a traditional English lament whose original date of composition and author remain unknown, though it was likely penned sometime in the mid- to late 19th century. Its earliest documented performance was on August 8, 1916, when Rosie Hensley of Carmen, North Carolina, sang the song for Cecil Sharp. The song is a selection from the enormous collection of 1,700 tunes that Sharp compiled while visiting North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, with Maud Karpeles in 1916-1918 and was first published in Volume 2 of "English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians".
