Bluegrass Songs - I never will marry

I never will marry

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 shingle 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

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 abore
She's gone where I never will see her anymore
