Lyrics Once I Had a Sweetheart - Lesley Garrett

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, he’s gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamt I did see
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamt I did see
My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
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
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 watery main
My life I’ll venture on watery main
