Odetta - I Never Will Marry lyrics

rate me

As I went a-walkin'<br />

Down by the seashore<br />

A wind did whistle<br />

And the water did roar<br />

I met a young woman<br />

Made a pitiful cry<br />

Said "I never will marry<br />

For the days of my life."<br />

The shells in the ocean<br />

Will be my deathbed<br />

The fish in deep water<br />

Will swim over my head<br />

"I never will marry.<br />

I'll be no man's wife.<br />

And tend to live single<br />

All the days of my life."<br />

As I went a-walkin'<br />

Down by the seashore<br />

The wind there did whistle<br />

And the water did roar.<br />
