Harry Belafonte - I Never Will Marry

Some say that love's a gentle thing
But it only brought me pain
'Cause the only one I ever did love
Is gone on the midnight train

I never will marry (never marry)
Never take me a wife
I expect to live single
All the rest of my life (never will marry)

The train pulled out the whistle blew
With a low and a lonesome mourn
She's gone, she's gone like the midnight dew
And left me here alone

I never will marry (never marry)
Never take me a wife
I expect to live single
All the rest of my life (never will marry)

There's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds design
There's many a change in a young girls heart
But never a change in mine

I never will marry (never marry)
Never take me a wife
I expect to live single
All the rest of my life.
