The House Carpenter - Clarence Ashley[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[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'm just returning from the salt salt sea and it's[00:00:14]
All for the love of thee[00:00:17]
Come in come in my old true love[00:00:22]
And have a seat with me[00:00:29]
It's been three fourths of a long long year since[00:00:33]
Together we have been[00:00:36]
Well I can't come in or I can't sit down[00:00:41]
For I haven't but a moment's time[00:00:47]
They say you're married to a house carpenter and your[00:00:52]
Heart will never be mine[00:00:55]
Now it's I could a married a king's daughter here[00:01:00]
I'm sure she'd a married me[00:01:06]
But I've forsaken her crowns of gold and it's all[00:01:10]
For the love of thee[00:01:14]
Now will you forsaken your house carpenter[00:01:19]
And go along with me[00:01:25]
I'll take you where the grass grows green on the[00:01:29]
Banks of the deep blue sea[00:01:33]
She picked up her little babe[00:01:38]
And kisses gave him three[00:01:44]
Says stay right here my darling little babe and keep[00:01:48]
Your papa company[00:01:52]
Well they hadn't been on ship but about two weeks[00:01:57]
I'm sure it was not three[00:02:03]
Till his true love began to weep and mourn and[00:02:07]
He weeped most bitterly[00:02:11]
Says are you a weeping for my silver or my[00:02:15]
Gold[00:02:19]
Says are you a weeping for my store[00:02:21]
Are you weeping for that house carpenter whose face you'll[00:02:25]
Never see anymore[00:02:29]
No it's I'm not a weeping for your silver or[00:02:33]
Your gold[00:02:36]
Or neither for your store[00:02:38]
I am weeping for my darling little babe whose face[00:02:43]
I'll never see anymore[00:02:46]
Well they hadn't been on ship but about three weeks[00:02:50]
I'm sure it was not four[00:02:56]
Till they sprung a leak in the bottom of the[00:03:00]
Ship and they sunk for to rise no more[00:03:03]
