Once I Had a Sweetheart

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 darlin' jewel sat smilin' by me My own darlin' jewel sat smilin' 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 Eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed [Sitar Solo] [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'll 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 [Outro] (After I'm gone, after I'm gone, after) (After I'm gone, after I'm gone, after) (After I'm gone, after I'm gone, after)
