One morning as I rambled down by the seashore The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar I heard of fair dancer make a pitiful sound It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single all the days of my life The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed The fish in deep water swim over my head
My love's gone and left me the one I adore She's gone where I never shall see her anymore She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep She closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep
