Songtext von I Never Will Marry

I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life One day as I wandered Down by the seashore The wind it did whistle And the waters did roar I heard a poor maiden Make a pitiful cry She sounded so lonesome At the waters nearby "I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life "My love's gone and left me He's the one I adore I never will see him No never no more "The shells in the ocean Will be my deathbed And the fish in the waters Swim over my head" She plunged her fair body In the waters so deep She closed her pretty blue eyes In the waters to sleep I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I intend to stay single For the rest of my life
