I Never Will Marry lyrics

One morning as I rambled all down 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 deathbed

The fish in deep water swim over my head

She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep

She closed her 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 deathbed

The fish in deep water swim over my head
