Once I Had a Sweetheart lyrics

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me

He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see

My own precious jewel sat smiling by me

My own precious jewel sat smiling by me

And when I awakened I found it not so

And when I awakened I found it not so

My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow

My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow

I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain

I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain

All my life I will venture the watery main

All my life I will venture the watery main

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me

He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
