One morning as I rambled down by the seashore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard of fair dancer make a pitiful sound It sounded so lonesome in the waters around I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed The fish in deep water swim over my head [ ac.guitar ] My love's gone and left me the one I adore He's gone where I never shall see her anymore She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep She closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep I never will marry I'll be no man's wife...
