Lyrics
  • Comrade O’ Mine Verse: Our happy home where the sun used to shine, seems now so dreary, dear comrade o’ mine
  • And I look back to the joy of the years, even tho’ oft-times I look thro’ the tears
  • I’m wondering if they would miss you above as much as I miss the sweet joy of your love. Refrain: How I miss the sunshine, beaming in your eyes How I miss the home love that you made a paradise
  • With your love enfolding, days were near divine And your smile made life worthwhile, comrade o’ mine. Verse: Each tender flow’r seems to miss you all day
  • seems they are fading since you went away
  • Each little rosebud looks sad and forlorn, they miss your greeting at break of the morn
  • And song birds that woke you each day that was bright, have long, long ago sung to me their goodnight. Refrain
