[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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