One morning as I rambled
All down the seashore
The wind it did whistle
Oh, 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
Will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head

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
Will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water
Swim over my head
