Once I Had a Sweetheart lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me
Gone and leave me in sorrow to mourn

[Verse 2]
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
My own darlin' jewel sat smilin' by me
My own darlin' jewel sat smilin' by me

[Verse 3]
But when I awakened I found it not so
But when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes likе some fountain with tears overflowеd
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed

[Verse 4]
My Billy's got married or otherwise dead
My Billy's got married or otherwise dead
His bunch of blue ribbons I wear 'round my head
His bunch of blue ribbons I wear 'round my head

[Verse 5]
So, 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 o'er the watery main
My life I will venture o'er the watery main
[Verse 1]
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me
Gone and leave me in sorrow to mourn
