I Never Will Marry
One morning as I rambled
Down by the seashore
The wind, it did whistle
And the waters did roar
I heard a fair damsel
Make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome
In the waters around
I never will marry
Or be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
The shells in the ocean
Shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
She plunged her fair body
In the ocean so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes
In the waters to sleep
My love's gone and left me
The one I adore
She's gone where I never
Will see her anymore
I never will marry
Or be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
The shells in the ocean
Shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
Down by the seashore
The wind, it did whistle
And the waters did roar
I heard a fair damsel
Make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome
In the waters around
I never will marry
Or be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
The shells in the ocean
Shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
She plunged her fair body
In the ocean so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes
In the waters to sleep
My love's gone and left me
The one I adore
She's gone where I never
Will see her anymore
I never will marry
Or be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
The shells in the ocean
Shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
