| NOTE: Texas Gladden recorded this first, I think, on a Stinson 78. She sang it as 2-line couplets, with no formal chorus, and had two extra couplets (after "It sounded so lonesome etc." |
One morning I rambled down by the sea shore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard some fair maiden give a pitiful cry It sounded so lonesome, it swept off on high CHORUS: 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 While the fish in deep water swim over my head She cast her fair body in the water so deep And closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep Said William to Molly, "If you will agree To give your consent love, to marrying me." "My mind is to marry, and never to part For the first time I saw you, you won my heart." |
