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
<Interlude>
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 along
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
all the days of my life
<Interlude>
Well, there's many a change
in the winter wind
and a change
in the clouds' 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
