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 left me, he's gone and left me
Gone and left 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 darling jewel sat smiling by me
My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
[Verse 3]
But when I awakened, I found it not so
But when I awakened, I found it not so
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed
[Verse 4]
I'll venture through England
Through France and through Spain
I'll venture through England
Through France and through Spain
My life I'll venture on the watery main
My life I will venture on watery main
[Verse 5]
I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun
I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun
And my false love will weep
My false love will weep
False love will weep for me after I'm gone
