Once I Had A Sweetheart - Pentangle

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…
