I Never Will Marry

               E               B7                E                     A
    One morning as I rambled all down the seashore,
                               E                     B7             E
    the wind it did whistle, and the waters did roar.
         E               B7                     E        A
    I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound,
                           E                         B7         E
    it sounded so lonesome in the waters around.

        E              B7         E                   A
    I never will marry, or be no man's wife,
                             E                   B7             E
    I expect to live single all the days of my life.
               E             B7                E                    A
    The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed,
                                E              B7            E
    the fish in deep water swim over my head.

              E                      B7               E               A
    She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep,
                                     E                 B7            E
    she closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep.
          E                        B7               E         A
    My love's gone and left me, the one I adore,
                                     E             B7                E
    she's gone where I never will see her anymore.

        E              B7         E                   A
    I never will marry, or be no man's wife,
                             E                   B7             E
    I expect to live single all the days of my life.
               E             B7                E                    A
    The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed,
                                E              B7            E
    the fish in deep water swim over my head.
