I'll Be No Man's Wife

One night as I rambled down by the sea shore



And wind it did whistle and the waters did roar



I heard a fair maiden make a pityful sound



It sounded so lonesome in the waters around



I never will marry I'll be no mas's wife



I accept to live single all the days of my life



[ dobro ]



My love's gone and left me the one I adore



He's gone where I never will see him no more



The shells in the ocean shall be my dead bed



A fish in deep water swim over my head



Then she plunged her fair body in the waters so deep



She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep



I never will marry...
