Never Will Marry Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro E

 Hold out the E, start singing the first line, then go to the B

naturally.

The rest is exactly the same.

 One morning I rambBled

 down Eby the sea shoAre,

 and the wind it did whisEtle,

 and the waBves they did rEoar.

 I heard some fair maBiden

 give a terErible crAy,

 and it sounded so loEnely,

 and it sweBpt up so hEigh.

 Said William to MoBlly,

 “if yoEu will agreAe

 to give your consEent, love,

 and mBarry meE.

 For my mind is to mBarry

 and nEever to paArt.

 For the first time I sEaw you,

 you wounBded my heart.E”

“Go away from me William

and leave me alone,

‘cause I’m just a poor girl

and 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

in the water so deep

and she closed her bonny-blue eyes,

forever to sleep.
