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
