ONCE I HAD A SWEETHEART
(D.Adams)

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none /x2
He's gone and leave me /x3
To sorrow and moan
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see /x2
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me /x2
And when I awaken I found it not so
My tears like some fountains with tears overflow
I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain
All my life I will venture till water remain
