[Verse 1] 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 mornin' train [Chorus] I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single All the days of my life [Verse 2] Well, the train pulled out, the whistle blew With a long and a lonesome moan He's gone, he's gone like the mornin' dew And left me all alone [Chorus] I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single All the days of my life [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I never will marry I'll be no man's wife I expect to live single All the days of my life
