Once I had a sweetheart
Traditional arr. Reilly/MacKillop
Once I had a
sweetheart, but now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and left me, gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber, dreamed I did see
My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
Own darling jewel sat smiling by me
But when I awakened I found it not so
When I awakened, found it not so
My eyes like bright fountains with tears overflowed
Eyes like bright fountains with tears overflowed
He's gone and left me, gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
For once I had a sweetheart, but now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none
He's gone and left me, gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
Once I had a sweetheart, now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart, now I have none
He's gone and left me, gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
