i had a sweetheart

Marianne Faithfull

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 deep slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in deep slumber I dreamed I did see
My own true love came smiling to me
My own true love came smiling to me
And when I awakened I found it not so
And when I awakened I found it not so
My heart like some fountain with tears overflow
My heart 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 leave me, he s gone and leave me
He s gone and leave me to sorrow and mourn
