Once I Had A Sweetheart

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.
