Once I Had a Sweetheart - Live at the Royal Festival Hall
[Intro]
(Thank ya
Thank you very much
Hallo)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Last night in sweet slumber
I dreamed I did see
Last night in sweet slumber
I dreamed I did see
My own precious jewels
Stood smiling by me
My own precious jewels
Stood smiling by me
[Verse 3]
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 overflowed
My eyes like some fountain
With tears overflowed
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Outro]
(Thank, thank you)
