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
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
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
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
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
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
