One day as I rambled down by the seashore

The wind it did whistle and the water did roar

I heard a young girl make a pitiful sound

As she closed her pretty blue eyes

In the water to drown

I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife

I will live single all the day's of my life

The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed

The fish in deep water swim over my head

My love's gone and left me

He's the one I adore

He's gone and I never shall see him anymore

She plunged her dear body in the water so deep

She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep

I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife

I will live single all the day's of my life

The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed

The fish in deep water swim over my head
