Lyrics:
One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
The wind it did whistle, and the waters did roar
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
I never will marry, or be no man's wife
I expect to live single all the days of my life
The shells in the ocean shall be my death bed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
She plunged her fair body in the waters so deep
She closed her blue eyes in the waters to sleep
My love's gone and left me, the one I adore
She's gone where I never will see her anymore

Thanks for posting this great song.

@ThornyRoseV Kinda messed up to call them hypocrites(though I know there are some there) Its just as bad them calling everyone who does not go to church something derogatory.

Maybelle didn't have nearly the voice Sarah had..... But I guess this song fit her voice better.

Is this a traditional folk song?

@Acexwanderer For some it is. But maybe not for anybody. Most people know this song from the time they were kids, or perhaps from church.

@baasting Church?? What church would have this song as a hymn, and where can I sign up?

@ipalindromei I didn't say this song was a hymn! I said some people may know this song from church as a song someone has singed. Maybe a folkgroup like The Carters performed this inside church without organ or piano, just their instruments :-)

@baasting . I really doubt those hypocrits in the church would sing there about suicide which is suppose to be a sin..
