Flatt and Scruggs - I'll Be No Man's Wife lyrics

One night as I rambled down by the sea shore And wind, it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard a fair maiden make a pitiful sound It sounded so lonesome in the waters around I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife I accept to live single all the days of my life My love's gone and left me the one I adore He's gone where I never will see him no more The shells in the ocean shall be my dead bed A fish in deep water swim over my head Then she plunged her fair body in the waters so deep She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep
