The House Carpenter (房屋木匠) - Clarence Ashley/F.Braswell[00:00:00]
We'll met we'll met said an old true love[00:00:02]
We'll met we'll met said he[00:00:08]
I'm just returning from[00:00:13]
The salt salt sea and it's all[00:00:15]
For the love of thee[00:00:18]
Climb in climb in my old true love[00:00:22]
And have a seat with me[00:00:28]
It's been three-fourths of[00:00:33]
A long long year since[00:00:34]
Together we have been[00:00:36]
Well I can't come in or I can't sit down[00:00:40]
For I haven't but a moment's time[00:00:47]
They say you're married to[00:00:52]
A house carpenter and your[00:00:53]
Heart will never be mine[00:00:55]
Now it's I coulda married a[00:00:59]
King's daughter here[00:01:02]
I'm sure she'da married me[00:01:06]
But I've forsaken her crowns[00:01:10]
Of gold and it's all for[00:01:13]
The love of thee[00:01:14]
Now will you forsaken your house carpenter[00:01:18]
And go along with me[00:01:25]
I'll take you where the grass[00:01:29]
Grows green on the banks[00:01:31]
Of the deep blue sea[00:01:33]
She picked up here little babe[00:01:38]
And kisses gave him three[00:01:44]
Says stay right here[00:01:48]
My darling little babe and keep[00:01:50]
Your pappa company[00:01:52]
Well they hadn't been[00:01:57]
On ship but about two weeks[00:01:58]
I'm sure it wasn't three[00:02:03]
Well his true love began to weep[00:02:07]
And mourn and he[00:02:09]
Weeped most bitterly[00:02:11]
Says are you a-weepin'[00:02:15]
For my silver or my gold[00:02:17]
Says are you weeping for my store[00:02:20]
Are you weeping for that[00:02:25]
House carpenter whose face[00:02:27]
You'll never see any more[00:02:29]
No it's I'm not a-weepin'[00:02:32]
For your silver or your gold[00:02:35]
Or neither for your store[00:02:38]
I am weeping for my darling[00:02:42]
Little babe whose face I'll[00:02:44]
Never see any more[00:02:46]
Well they hadn't been on ship[00:02:50]
But about three weeks[00:02:52]
I'm sure it wasn't four[00:02:56]
'Til they sprung a leak[00:03:00]
In the bottom of the ship and[00:03:02]
They sunk for to rise no more[00:03:03]
