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
He's gone and leave me to sorrow and mourn.

Last night in deep slumber i dreamed i did see
Last night in deep slumber i dreamed i did see
My own true love came smiling to me
My own true love came smiling to me.

And when i awakened i found it not so
And when i awakened i found it not so.
My heart like some fountain with tears overflow
My heart like some fountain with tears overflow.

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
He's gone and leave me to sorrow and mourn.
