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.
He's 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 were like some
fountain
with tears overflown.
My eyes were 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 will venture,
all the water remain.
My life I will venture,
all the water remain.
I'll sell silver and steer toward the sun.
I'll sell 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.
