Once I Had a Sweetheart

once i had a sweetheart now i have none she’s gone and leaves me to sorrow and moan she’s gone and left she’s gone and left me last night in my slumber i dreamed i did see my own precious jewel sat smiling at me but when i awaked i found it not so my eyes like a fountain the tears overflowed she’s gone and left me she’s gone and left me i’ll venture to coasts you once made claim my life i’ll venture on watery mains i’ll venture through and through and through the rest of my life i’ll venture t’wards you she’s gone and left me she’s gone and left me
