My Companion of Long Ago
My Companion Of Long Ago
Soon we will meet again
Because I am going home
I can't wait to see her
Whose banks I once did roam
Whose blue liguid
I swam in as a child free of care
I wonder has she changed much
And I hope not
Will she recognize me
When I get there
Will she recall the time I almost drowned
When she guided my hand
To grasp a crack in the pier
At Farran's Point Canal
In our riverside town
Where I skipped stones
Across her ripples
And watched my brother's ships
As they sailed through
And I rode on the gates as they opened
An illegal thing to do
Will she afford me
The pleasure of sunbathing
Nude amid her gentle wave
Has she yet the golden voice
Only sailors have heard
Will she woo me as I bathe
Are the fish as plentiful
In her keeping
And will she give some up to me
Catfish were so delicious
And her specialty
