I Never Will Marry Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

One day as I rambled down by the seashore 

The wind it did whistle and the water did roar 

I heard a young girl make a pitiful sound 

As she closed her pretty blue eyes 

In the water to drown 

I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife 

I will live single all the day's of my life 

The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed 

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 and I never shall see him anymore 

She plunged her dear body in the water so deep 

She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep 

I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife 

I will live single all the day's of my life 

The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed 

The fish in deep water swim over my head
