YOUNG MAN'S LAMENT (I NEVER SHALL MARRY)
(heard sung by Tom Glaser)
There's many a change in the stormy sea,
They say that love's a gentle thing,
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
Many a change in the cloud's design;
There's many a change in a young girl's heart,
But never a change in me.
I never shall marry, I'll ne'er have a wife,
I expect to live single for the rest of my life.
But it's only brought me pain.
The only girl I ever did love
Is gone on the midnight train.
I never shall marry, (etc.)
