Maggie Reilly — Once I had a sweetheart lyrics

Lyrics

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, gone and left me
He’s gone and left me to sorrow and moan
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see
My own sparkling jewel sat smiling by me
My own sparkling jewel sat smiling by me
And when I awakened I found it not so
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
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, gone and left me
He’s gone and left me to sorrow and moan
