I Never Will Marry lyrics

One morning as I rambled down by the seashore

The wind it did whistle, and the waters did roar

I heard a fair maiden give a pitiful cry

And it sounded so lonely as it swept off on by

I never will marry, I'll b be no man's wife

I intend to stay single for the rest of my life

The shells in the ocean float by my death bed

And the rushing deep waters went over my head

They say that love is a gentle thing

But it's only brought me pain

For the only man I ever loved

Has gone on the morning train

She cast her fair body in the waters so deep

She closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep

I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife

I intend to stay single for the rest of my life

The shells in the ocean float by my death bed

And the rushing deep waters went over my head
