One night as I rambled down by the sea shore
|
And wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
|
I heard a fair maiden make a pityful sound
|
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
|
I never will marry I'll be no mas's wife
|
I accept to live single all the days of my life
|
[ dobro ]
|
My love's gone and left me the one I adore
|
He's gone where I never will see him no more
|
The shells in the ocean shall be my dead bed
|
A fish in deep water swim over my head
|
Then she plunged her fair body in the waters so deep
|
She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep
|
I never will marry...
