Chorus:
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, will be my death bed,
The fish in deep water, swim over my head.

My love's gone and left me, he's the one I adore,
He's gone where I never shall see him any more.
She plunged her dear body, in the water so deep,
She closed her pretty blue eyes, in the waters to sleep.
