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 moan.
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

And when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow.

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.
