Verse 1:

FF        C majorC            A#A#
One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
         FF        C majorC     FF
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
         C majorC           A#A#
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
         FF      C majorC   FF
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around

Chorus:

FF      C majorC          A#A#
I never will marry or be no man's wife
         FF       C majorC     FF
I expect to live single all the days of my life
          C majorC          A#A#
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed
         FF     C majorC    FF
The fish in deep water swim over my head

Verse 2:

           C majorC          A#A#
She plunged her fair body in the ocean so deep
          FF      C majorC     FF
She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep
           C majorC         A#A#
My love's gone and left me, the one I adore
          FF     C majorC      FF
She's gone where I never will see her any more


Chorus:

FF      C majorC          A#A#
I never will marry or be no man's wife
         FF       C majorC     FF
I expect to live single all the days of my life
          C majorC          A#A#
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed
         FF     C majorC    FF
