I Never Will Marry

Written by [traditional]
I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life
One day as I wandered Down by the seashore The wind it did whistle And the waters did roar
I heard a poor maiden Make a pitiful cry She sounded so lonesome At the waters nearby
No, I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life
My love's gone and left me He's the one I adore I never will see him No never no more
The shells in the ocean Will be my deathbed And the fish in the waters Swim over my head
She plunged her fair body In the waters so deep She closed her blue eyes In the waters to sleep
I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life
