The singer describes how their sweetheart has left them, going away and leaving them in sorrow. They had a dream where their sweetheart was smiling with them, but upon waking found it was not true. Their eyes filled with tears like a fountain overflowing. To get over their heartbreak, the singer plans to travel throughout England, France and Spain, setting sail on the water to steer towards the sun, leaving their false love who will weep for them after they are gone.

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...
