I used to do this in slightly different order:-

One day as I rambled, all by the sea shore,
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar,
And I spied a fair damsel making pitiful cry,
It sounded so lonesome in the water nearby

Sing I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single,
For the rest of my life.

For my love's gone and left me, he's the one I adore,
And he's gone where I never will see his face more
Now the shells in the ocean, they will be my death bed
And the fish in deep waters will swim over my head,

Ch...

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

Ch.....

Heard it done this way by Miki And Griff (Remember them?)
