Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan. Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see My own precious jewel sat smiling by me My own precious jewel sat smiling by me And when I awakened I found it not so My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow. I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain All my life I will venture the watery main All my life I will venture the watery main.
