Hank Snow – I Never Will Marry lyrics

Written by A.P. Carter
Recorded by Hank Snow

One morning as I rambled down by the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
I heard of fair maiden make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
(I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life)
My love's gone and left me the one I adore
She's gone where I'll never see her anymore
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 expect to live single all the days of my life)
The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed
While the fish in deep water swim over my head
