I Never Will Marry Lyrics

Loretta Lynn I Never Will Marry

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life
One day as I wander
Down by the sea shore
The wind it did whistle
And the waters did roar
I heard a poor maiden
Make a pitiful cry
She sounded so lonesome
At the waters nearby
No, I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life

My love's gone and left me
He's the one I adore
I never will see him
No, never no more
The shells in the ocean
Will be my deathbed
And the fish in the waters
Swim over my head
She plunged her fair body
In the water so deep
She closed her blue eyes
In the waters, to sleep
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life
