Once I had a sweetheart
Once I had a sweetheart and now I have noneOnce I had a sweetheart and now I have noneHe's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave meHe's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did seeLast night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did seeMy own precious jewel sat smiling by meMy own precious jewel sat smiling by me
And when I awakened I found it not soAnd when I awakened I found it not soMy eyes like some fountain with tears overflowMy eyes like some fountain with tears overflow
I'll venture through England, through France and through SpainI'll venture through England, through France and through SpainAll my life I will venture the watery mainAll my life I will venture the watery main
