The House Carpenter (房屋木匠) - Clarence Ashley[00:00:00]
Well met well met said an old true love[00:00:02]
Well met well met said he[00:00:09]
I just returned from the salt salt sea[00:00:14]
And it's all for the love of thee[00:00:17]
Come in come in my own true love[00:00:22]
And have a seat with me[00:00:29]
It's been three-fourths of a long long year[00:00:33]
Since together we have been[00:00:36]
Well I can't come in or I can't sit down[00:00:41]
For I've but a moment's time[00:00:47]
They say you're married to a house carpenter[00:00:52]
And your heart will never be mine[00:00:55]
That I could have married a King's daughter fair[00:01:00]
I'm sure she'd married me[00:01:06]
But I've forsaken her crowns of gold[00:01:11]
And it's all for the love of thee[00:01:14]
Now we you forsake your house carpenter[00:01:19]
And go along with me[00:01:25]
I'll take you where the grass grows green[00:01:30]
On the banks of the deep blue sea[00:01:33]
She picked up a little babe[00:01:39]
And kisses she gave it three[00:01:45]
Saying Stay right here my dalring little baby[00:01:49]
And keep your pappa company[00:01:52]
Well they had been on the ship about two weeks[00:01:58]
I'm sure it was not three[00:02:04]
Till his true love began to weep and to mourn[00:02:08]
We most bitterly[00:02:12]
Saying Are you weeping for my silver and my gold[00:02:16]
Saying Are you weeping for my store[00:02:22]
Are you weeping for that house carpenter[00:02:26]
Whose face you'll never see any more[00:02:29]
Lord I'm not weeping for your silver and your gold[00:02:34]
Are you needed for your store[00:02:39]
I am weeping for my darling little babe[00:02:44]
Whose face you'll never see any more[00:02:46]
Well they had not been on the ship about three weeks[00:02:51]
I'm sure it was not four[00:02:57]
Tell it's brand a leak in the bottom of the ship[00:03:01]
And sank them for to rise no more[00:03:05]
