Once I Had A Sweetheart                           
(Joan Baez)                                       
                                                  
Once I had a sweetheart, and now I have none.     
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 mourn.       
                                                  
Last night in sweet slumber, I dreamed I did      
see, 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.      
                                                  
But when I awakened, I found it not so, But when  
I awakened, I found it not so. My eyes like some  
fountain, the tears overflow, My eyes like some   
fountain, the tears overflow.                     
                                                  
I'll venture through England, through France,     
and through Spain, 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.                          
                                                  
(repeat "Once I had a sweetheart ...")
