This song's a cover of a traditional Irish lullaby. For a female prospective of "I Never Will Marry", check out Kristin Hersh's fine rendition on one of her solo albums, "Murder, Misery, then Goodnight"--incidentally, a collection of truly maudlin folk songs and lullabies Hersh had heard sung to her as a toddler growing up in Appalachia that would make "Rockaby Baby" seem tame in comparison! 8-)
