    One morning as I rambled all down the seashore, 
                               E                     B7             E 
    the wind it did whistle, and the waters did roar. 
         E               B7                     E        A 
    I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound, 
                           E                         B7         E 
    it sounded so lonesome in the waters around. 

        E              B7         E                   A 
    I never will marry, or be no man's wife, 
                             E                   B7             E 
    I expect to live single all the days of my life. 
               E             B7                E                    A 
    The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed, 
                                E              B7            E 
    the fish in deep water swim over my head. 

              E                      B7               E               A 
    She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep, 
                                     E                 B7            E 
    she closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep. 
          E                        B7               E         A 
    My love's gone and left me, the one I adore, 
                                     E             B7                E 
    she's gone where I never will see her anymore. 

        E              B7         E                   A 
    I never will marry, or be no man's wife, 
                             E                   B7             E 
    I expect to live single all the days of my life. 
               E             B7                E                    A 
    The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed, 
                                E              B7            E 
    the fish in deep water swim over my head.
