| lyric | 1. One morning I rambled
Down by the seashore,
The wind it did whistle
And the waters did roar,
Chorus
I never will marry,
Nor be no man’s wife,
I intend to live single
All the day’s of my life.
2. I heard some fair maiden
give a pitiful cry
And it sounded so lonely,
it swept off on high
3. The shells in the ocean
shall be my death bed,
While the fish in deep water
swim over my head.
4. She cast her fair body
in the water so deep,
And she closed her dear blue eyesforever to sleep
