The Damsel's Lament (I Never Will Marry)

Some say that love's a gentle thing

But it's only brought me pain

"Cause the only one I ever did love

Has gone with the midnight train.



I never will marry, never take me a wife

I expect to live single all the rest of my life.



The train pulled out the whistle blew

With a low and a lonesome mourn

She's gone, she's gone like the midnight dew

And left me here alone.



I never will marry, never take me a wife

I expect to live single all the rest of my life.



There's many a change in the winter wind

And a change in the clouds design

There's many a change in a young girls heart

But never a change in mine.



I never will marry, never take me a wife

I expect to live single all the rest of my life...
