1. I once had a sweet heart & loved him dearer than life He always did tell me I was to be his wife. He was gone with another and left me here alone. He's left me broken hearted to weep and sigh at home. Chorus Home Home sweet sweet Home I never shall forget the day He stold me from my home. 2. I once had a sweet heart as fair as a rose as pale as a lillie a lillie that grows a rose in the garden that's faded and gone he's left me broken hearted to weep and sigh at home. Chorus 3. Come all of you young ladies and take a warning from me Never love a young gentleman he'll deceive you he will He'll hug you and kiss and swear that he is true And the very next moment he'll bide you adew.
