[Chorus] Once I had sweetheart, and now I have none Once I had sweetheart, and now I have none She's gone and leave me, she's gone and leave me She's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
[verse] Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see 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 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 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
[Chorus] Once I sweetheart, and now I have none Once I sweetheart, and now I have none She's gone and leave me, she's gone and leave me She's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
