Lyrics

As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside (x2)
And looking so sadly (x2)
And looking so sadly upon the swift tide

She thought of the lover that left her in pride (x2)
On the banks of the meadow (x2)
The banks of the meadow she sat down and cried

I once had a sweetheart, and now I have none (x2)
He's a-gone and he's leaved me
He's gone and deceived me
He's gone and he's leaved me in sorrow to mourn

One night in sweet slumber I dream that I see (x2)
My own dearest true love (x2)
My own dearest true love come smiling to me

But when I awoke and I found it not so (x2)
Mine eyes were like fountains (x2)
Mine eyes were like fountains where the water doth flow

I'll spread sail of silver and I'll steal towards the sun (x2)
And my false love will weep (x2)
And my false love will weep for me, after I'm gone
