One morning as I [C#] rambled all down the [B] sea shore, the [F#] wind it did whistle [C#] and the water
[F#] did roar.
I heard [C#] a fire dims up, make a beautiful [B] sound.
It sounded [F#] so lonesome [C#] in the waters
[F#] around.
I never will [C#]
marry Harvey, no [B] man's wife.
I expect to [F#] live single [C#] all the days of [F#] my life.
The shelf in [C#] the ocean shall be my [B]
deathbed.
The fish [F#] in deep water [C#] swim over [F#] my head.

She plunged her [C#] fire body in the water [B] so deep.
She closed [F#] her blue eyes [C#] and the water [F#] skips deep.
My love's gone [C#] and left me the one I [B]
adore.
She's gone, [F#] I never [C#] will see her [F#] anymore.
I never [C#] will marry Harvey, no [B] man's wife.
I expect [F#] to live single [C#] all the days of [F#] my life.
The shelf in [C#] the ocean shall be my [B] deathbed.
The fish in [F#] deep water [C#] swim over [F#] my head.
