One day as I rambled down by the seashore The wind it did whistle And the water did roar I spied a fair damsel Make a pitiful cry It sounded so lonesome In the waters nearby Sing 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 Will be my deathbed The fish in deep water Swim over my head She plunged her fair body In the water so deep She closed her sad eyes In the waters too deep Sing 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 Will be my deathbed The fish in deep water Swim over my head Sing I never will marry
