I NEVER WILL MARRY
Trad. Irish Ballad
Linda Ronstadt, The Carter Family, Hank Snow
Key: D


4    4  5  4  -4  -4
One day as I ram-bled 
4    4   5   6   -5
down by the sea-shore
-5-5 -5  -6  -5   5   6
The wind it did whis-tle, 
3    3  3   -3   -4  4
and the wa-ters did roar


I heard a fair dam-sel 
make a pit-i-ful sound
It sounded so lone-some 
in the wa-ters a-round

4  4  5   4    -4 -4
I nev-er will mar-ry, 
4     4  5   6    -5
I’ll be no man's wife
-5-5  -5  -6  -5   5   6
I in-tend to stay sin-gle 
3    3    3  -3 -4  4
for the rest of my life

The shells in the ocean 
shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water 
swim over my head

She plunged her fair body 
in the waters so deep
She closed her blue eyes 
in the waters to sleep

My love's gone and left me, 
the one I adore
She's gone where I never 
will see her anymore

All verses have the same tabs.
