I Never Will Marry

One morning as I rambled all down the seashore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound It sounded so lonesome in the waters around I never will marry or be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed The fish in deep water swim over my head She plunged her fair body in the ocean so deep She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep My love's gone and left me, the one I adore She's gone where I never will see her any more I never will marry or be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed The fish in deep water swim over my head --- I Never Will Marry - The Carter Family
