cpw@giga.com.pl Origins: I Never Will Marry (41) Lyr Add: I NEVER WILL MARRY 14 Jan 97


Hi,

Know slightly different version of this 19th century tune. I've included chords.

I NEVER WILL MARRY

CHORUS:
G D G C
I never will marry. I'll be no man's wife.
C G D G
I intend to stay single for the rest of my life.

One day as I rambled down by the sea shore,
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar.

I heard a poor maiden make a pitiful cry.
She sounded so lonesome at the waters nearby. CHORUS

The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed,
And the fish in the ocean swim over my head.

My love's gone and left me. He's the one I adore.
I never will see him, no never, no more.

She plunged her fair body in the water so deep.
She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep. CHORUS

Regards
