Ramblin' Jack Elliott - I Never Will Marry lyrics

One day as I rambled, down by the seashore A wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard a fair maiden give a pitiful cry And it sounded so lonesome as it sailed out on high "I'm never to marry, I'll be no man's wife I'll expect to live single all the days of my life" The shells in the ocean shall be my d**hbed And the fish in deep water swim over my head Oh fare thee well William, you're the one I adore I'm going were I'll never see you anymore She cast her fair body in the waters so deep She closed her pretty blue eyes in the waters to sleep "I'm never to marry, be no man's wife I'll expect to live single all the days of my life" One day as I rambled, down by the seashore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
