Woorden: Odetta. I Never Will Marry.

As I went a-walkin'
Down by the seashore
A wind did whistle
And the water did roar
I met a young woman
Made a pitiful cry
Said "I never will marry
For the days of my life."
The shells in the ocean
Will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water
Will swim over my head
"I never will marry.
I'll be no man's wife.
And tend to live single
All the days of my life."
As I went a-walkin'
Down by the seashore
The wind there did whistle
And the water did roar.
