1. One morning I rambled down by the sea shore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard some fair maiden give a pitiful cry It sounded so lonesome, it swept off on high.

2. The shells in the ocean shall be my death-bed While the fish in deep water swim over my head She cast her fair body in the water so deep And closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep.

Refrain: I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life.
