One morning as I rambled
Down by 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
ย
The shells in the ocean
Shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
She plunged her fair body
ย
In the ocean so deep
ย
She closed her pretty 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 anymore
I never will marry
ย
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 death bed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
