I Never Will Marry

1 5 1 4
One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
1 5 1
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
5 1 4
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
1 5 1
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around

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’ll never will see her no more

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
I never will marry
