I Never Will Marry

One morning I rambled, down by the seashore
 And the wind it did whistle
 And the water did roar
 I heard some fair maiden
 Give a pitiful cry
 And it sounded so lonely
 It swept off so high
 Said William to Molly "If you will agree,
 To give your consent love, to marry me?
 My mind is to marry and never to part,
 For the first time I saw you, you wounded my heart"
 "Go away from me William, and leave me alone,
 For I'm just a poor girl and a long ways from home.
 I never will marry,
 I'll be no man's wife,
 I intend to live single all the days of my life"
 "The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed,
 While the fish in deep waters swim over my head"
 She cast her fair body
 In the water so deep
 And she closed her pretty blue eyes
 Forever to sleep
 End
