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.
