House Carpenter - Dave Van Ronk[00:00:00]
Well met well met my own true love[00:00:04]
Well met well met cried he[00:00:10]
I've just returned from the salt salt sea[00:00:15]
And it's all for the sake of thee[00:00:20]
I could have married a King's daughter there[00:00:25]
So freely she was with me[00:00:30]
But I have forsaken a crown of gold[00:00:34]
And it's all for the sake of thee[00:00:39]
If you could have married[00:00:44]
A King's daughter there[00:00:46]
I'm sure you are to blame[00:00:48]
For I've recently wedded a house carpenter[00:00:53]
And I think he's a fine young man[00:00:57]
Will you forsake your house carpenter[00:01:02]
And come and go along with me[00:01:07]
I'll take you to where the grass grows green[00:01:11]
On the banks of sweet Italy[00:01:16]
Well she picked up her dear little babe[00:01:20]
Kisses she gave him three[00:01:25]
Saying "stay at home my dearest babe[00:01:29]
And keep your daddy company "[00:01:34]
They had not been sailin' but about two days[00:01:40]
I'm sure it was not three[00:01:44]
When this fair lady began to weep[00:01:48]
And she wept most bitterly [00:01:53]
"Why are you weepin' my dearest dear [00:01:57]
Are you weepin' for my golden store "[00:02:02]
Or are you weeping for your house carpenter[00:02:06]
Whose face you'll never see anymore [00:02:10]
"I am not weepin' for my house carpenter[00:02:15]
Nor for any store [00:02:20]
But I am weepin' for my own dear babe[00:02:24]
Whose face I'll never see anymore "[00:02:28]
What hills what hillls are those my dear[00:02:33]
What hills so fair and high[00:02:37]
Those are the hills of heaven my dear[00:02:42]
But not for you or I [00:02:46]
What hills what hills are those my love[00:02:50]
What hills so dark and low [00:02:55]
Those are the hills of hell my dear[00:02:59]
Where you and I must go [00:03:04]
They had not been sailin'[00:03:08]
But about three days[00:03:10]
I'm sure that it was not four[00:03:13]
When the ship sprang[00:03:17]
A leak in the bottom of the deck[00:03:18]
And she sank for to ride no more[00:03:21]
