The House Carpenter (房屋木匠) - Doc Watson[00:00:00]

We've met we've met my old true love[00:00:09]

We've met we've met said he[00:00:13]

I've just returned from the salt salt sea[00:00:17]

And it's all for the love of thee[00:00:21]

I could have married the King's daughter fair[00:00:26]

She would have married me[00:00:30]

But I've forsaken her crown of gold[00:00:33]

And it's all for the love of thee[00:00:37]

Come in come in my old true love[00:00:45]

Come in she said to him[00:00:49]

For it's been three fourths of a long long year[00:00:52]

Since together we have been[00:00:56]

No I can't come in nor I can't sit down[00:01:00]

For I have but a moment's time[00:01:04]

And they say that[00:01:08]

You're married to a house carpenter[00:01:09]

And your heart will never be mine[00:01:12]

Will you come with me my old true love[00:01:22]

Oh come with me said he[00:01:26]

And I'll take you to where the grass grows green[00:01:29]

On the banks of Bittery[00:01:33]

Then she picked up her sweet little babe[00:01:39]

And kisses she gave it three[00:01:42]

Sayin stay at home my darlin little babe[00:01:46]

And keep your papa company[00:01:50]

Then he jumped on a milk white steppe[00:02:02]

And her on a dapple grey[00:02:06]

They rode until they came to the banks of a sea[00:02:09]

Three hours before the break of day[00:02:13]

They had not been on the ship two weeks[00:02:17]

I'm sure it was not three[00:02:21]

Until his true love began to weep and to mourn[00:02:25]

And she wept most bitterly[00:02:29]

Oh is it for my silver you weep[00:02:36]

Is it for my store[00:02:40]

Or is it for that house carpenter[00:02:43]

Whose face you'll never see no more[00:02:47]

It's neither for you silver I weep[00:02:51]

And neither for your store[00:02:55]

But it's all for the sake of my sweet little babe[00:02:58]

Whose face I'll never see no more[00:03:02]

Then a curse a curse to the sailor she cried[00:03:11]

A curse a curse she swore[00:03:15]

You've robbed me of my house carpenter[00:03:18]

Whose face I'll never see no more[00:03:22]

They had not been on the ship three weeks[00:03:26]

I'm sure it was not four[00:03:30]

Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship[00:03:33]

And it sunk for to rise no more[00:03:37]
