The Seashore - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE SEASHORE. 
I was taking a walk down by the seashore. The drums they beat loudly, the waves they did roar, I had sought him in high lands, but my lover's not there, I had sought him in lowlands till I sank in despair. 
Chorus. Crying, Oh, my love's gone, he's the one I adore; He has gone where I never shall see him more. 
Then I turned my sad eyes to a far distant shore. Saying, fare thee well, Jimmy, I shall see you no more, The smallest of fishes will grow to be whales And the largest of ships be propelled without sails.-Chorus. 
In the midst of the ocean there will be a green tree, If ever I'm false to my darling, Jimmy; I've been asked oft to marry another to please, But the answer I made was, my love's o'er the sea.-Chorus. 
The shells of the ocean shall be my death-bed. While the tribes of the sea shall float o'er my head; Then she plunged her form in the waves cold and deep, And closed her blue eyes in the ocean to sleep. --Chorus
