Once I had my loving sweetheart
Her hair was long and black as coal
The tears they fell the night she left me
It broke my heart to see her go
We used to go strollin’ in the moonlight
But that has been some time ago
And now the golden leaves are falling
As I travel down this lonesome road
Now it’s cold and the snow is falling
It has covered up the ground
Just a year ago we were together
Now your love can’t be found
