Lyrics:

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, gone and left me,
He's gone and left me to sorrow and moan.

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see,
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see,
My own sparkling jewel sat smiling by me,
My own sparkling 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.

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, gone and left me,
He's gone and left me to sorrow and moan.
