Once I Had a Sweetheart

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 Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see My own darling jewel sat smiling by me My own darling jewel sat smiling 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 Eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed 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 watery main My life I'll venture on watery main 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 After I'm gone, After I'm gone, After I'm gone... --- Once I Had a Sweetheart - Bert Jansch and Pentangle
