Once I Had a Sweetheart

                                  Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none 

He's gone and left me He's gone and left me

Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn 

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see 

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see 

My own darling jewel sat smiling by me 

My own darling 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 on watery main 

My life I'll venture on watery main

I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun 

I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun 

And my false love will weep, my false love will weep 

False love will weep for me after I'm gone 

After I'm gone, After I'm gone, After I'm gone...
