One morning as I rambled down by the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
I heard of fair dancer make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
I never will marry I'll 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
[ ac.guitar ]
My love's gone and left me the one I adore
He's gone where I never shall see her anymore
She plunged 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...
