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
He’s gone and left me
He’s gone and left me
To sorrow and mourn

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
My own dearest jewel
My own dearest jewel
My own dearest jewel
Sat smiling at me

But when I awakened I found it not so
But when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes like some fountains
My eyes like some fountains
My eyes like some fountains
With tears over-flowed

I’ll travel through England, through France and to Spain
I’ll travel through England, through France and to Spain
All my life I will wander
All my life I will wander
All my life I will wander
The watery main

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
He’s gone and left me
He’s gone and left me
To sorrow and mourn
