[Intro]
C G F
C G C
[Verse 1]
C G F
One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
C G C
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
G F
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
C G C
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
[Chorus]
C G F
I never will marry or be no man's wife
C G C
I expect to live single all the days of my life
G F
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed
C G C
The fish in deep water swim over my head
[Instrumental]
C G F
C G C
[Verse 2]
G F
She plunged her fair body in the ocean so deep
C G C
She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep
G F
My love's gone and left me, the one I adore
C G C
She's gone where I never will see her any more
[Chorus]
C G F
I never will marry or be no man's wife
C G C
I expect to live single all the days of my life
G F
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed
C G C
The fish in deep water swim over my head
