歌词：Greg Brown. Honey In The Lion's Head. 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 wandered
Down by the seashore
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

"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 waters so deep
She closed her pretty 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
