[Verse 1]
Once I had sweetheart, and now I have none
Once I had sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me
He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan

[Verse 2]
Last night in sweet slumber, I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber, I dreamed I did see
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me

[Verse 3]
And when I awakened, I found it not so
And when I awakened, I found it not so
My eyes like some fountains, with tears overflow
My eyes like some fountains, with tears overflow

[Verse 4]
I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain
I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain
All my life I will venture the watery main
All my life I will venture the watery main

[Verse 1]
Once I sweetheart, and now I have none
Once I sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and leave me, He's gone and leave me
He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
