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
