Odetta - I Never Will Marry lyrics

As I went a-walkin' Down by the seashore A wind did whistle And the water did roar I met a young woman Made a pitiful cry Said "I never will marry For the days of my life." The shells in the ocean Will be my d**hbed The fish in deep water Will swim over my head "I never will marry. I'll be no man's wife. And tend to live single All the days of my life." As I went a-walkin' Down by the seashore The wind there did whistle And the water did roar.
