I once had a sweet-heart,

-3”  3 -3  5    -4
-6   6 -7  8    -8
But now I have none

 -4   -4  -4   -4   5   -4
 -8   -8  -8   -8   8   -8
He’s gone and he’s left me

-3  3   -3  -3  -3”
-7  6   -7  -7  -6
To weep and to mourn

 -1   -3  -3”  -3   3   -3”
 -4   -7  -6   -7   6   -7
He’s gone and he’s left me

-3”  3  -3” 5  -4
-6   6  -7  8  -8
For oth-ers to see

-4   -4   -4   5   5   5  -4
-8   -8   -8   8   8   8  -8
But I’ll soon find an-oth-er

-3   3  -3   -3” 3
-7   6  -7   -6  6
Far bet-ter than he


 -3    -3”  -3   3  -3

Green grows the lau-rel

-3”  3    -3    5  -4
-6   6    -7    8  -8
And soft falls the dew

-4  -4 -4 5-4  -3    3   -3   -3  -3”
-8  -8 -8 8-8  -7    6   -7   -7  -6
Sor-ry was I  love, part-ing from you

-1  -3 -3”  -3   3   -3
-4  -7 -6   -7   6   -7
But at our next meet-ing

-3” 3   -3      5    -4
-6  6   -7      8    -8
I hope you’ll prove true

-4   -4    -4  -4   -4    5  -4
-8   -8    -8  -8   -8    8  -8
And we’ll join the green lau-rel

-3  -3   3  -3  -3” 3
-7  -7   6  -7  -6  6
And the vio-let so blue
