The Carter Family - I Never Will Marry lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 d**hbed The fish in deep water swim over my head [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus]
