I Never Will Marry                Traditional

[C] One morning as I [G] rambled
All [C] down the sea' [F]s hore
The wind it did [C] whistle
[G] And the waters did [C] roar

I heard a fair damsel
Make a pitiful sound
She sounded so lonesome
In the waters around

She plunged her fair body
In the waters so deep
She closed her dear blue eyes
In the waters to sleep

My loves gone and left me
The one I  adore
He’s gone where I never
Will see him no more

I never will marry
I’ll be no mans wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life

The shells in the ocean
Will be my death bed
The fish in  deep water
Swim over my head

I never will marry
