Never Will Marry

E B

One morning I rambled

E A

down by the seashore

A E

and the wind it did whistle

B E

and the waves they did roar

I heard some fair maiden

give a terrible cry

and it sounded so lonely

and it swept up so high

Said William to Molly

If you will agree

to give your consent love

and marry me

For my mind is to marry

and never to part

for the first time I saw you

you wounded my heart

(Break)

Go away from me, William

and leave me alone

Cuz I’m just a poor girl

a long way from home

No, I never will marry

nor be no man’s wife

I’m content to live single

all the days of my life

The shoal in the ocean

will be my death bed

with the fish in deep water

swimmin’ over my head

She cast her fair body

into the water so deep

and she closed her bonny-blue eyes

forever to sleep

(Break)

Bonus Lyrics:

She rose in the evening

from a watery grave

and shambled to shore

with a hunger for brains

She saw William's cottage

and groaned even more

Light flickered inside

when she banged on the door

He turned the door handle

and cried in surprise

while dropping his lantern

She raked at his eyes

Inside they both stumbled

while flames grew so bright

their love was devouring

and burned through the night
