I Never Will Marry

They say that love's a gentle thing

But it's only brought me pain

For the only man I ever loved

Has gone on the morning train

I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life

Well the train pulled out

The whistle blew

With a long and a lonesome moan

He's gone he's gone

Like the morning dew

And left me all alone

I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life

Well there's many a change in the winter wind

And a change in the cloud's design

There's many a change in a young man's heart

But never a change in mine

I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life
