Once I Had A Sweetheart

Once I had a sweetheart but now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart but now I have none
He's gone and left me, gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn

Last night as I slumbered I dreamed I did see
Last night as I slumbered I dreamed I did see
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me

But when I awakened I found it not so
But when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed
Eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed

I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain
I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain
My life I'll venture the watery main
My life I'll venture the watery main
