Well met well met[00:00:16]
And I know true love[00:00:18]
Well met well met said he[00:00:21]
I'm just returning from the salt salt sea[00:00:27]
And it's all for the love of thee[00:00:34]
Come in come in[00:00:42]
My own true love[00:00:44]
And have a seat with me[00:00:47]
It's been three-fourths[00:00:53]
Of a long long year[00:00:56]
Since together we have been[00:00:59]
O I can't come in[00:01:07]
And I can't sit down[00:01:09]
For I have but a moment's time[00:01:13]
They say that you're married[00:01:19]
To a house carpenter[00:01:21]
And your heart shall never be mine[00:01:24]
Well I could have married[00:01:33]
The king's daughter fair[00:01:35]
She would have married me[00:01:39]
But I forsaked upon[00:01:44]
Her crowns of gold[00:01:47]
And it's all for the love of thee[00:01:50]
Ow will you forsake on[00:01:58]
Your house carpenter[00:02:01]
And go along with me [00:02:04]
I'll take you where[00:02:09]
The grass grows green[00:02:12]
On the banks of the bitter reeds[00:02:15]
She pick up her wee little babe[00:02:47]
And kisses gave it three saying [00:02:53]
Stay right here my darling little one[00:02:58]
Keep your papa company[00:03:05]
Now they had not been[00:03:36]
On the ship two weeks[00:03:39]
I swear it was not three[00:03:42]
When his true love began[00:03:46]
To weep and moan[00:03:50]
And she wept most bitterly[00:03:53]
Re you weeping[00:03:56]
For my silver and gold[00:04:01]
Are you weeping for my store or are[00:04:03]
You weeping for that house carpenter[00:04:08]
That you ner shall see no more [00:04:18]
Curse on the sailor she cried[00:04:25]
A curse a curse she swore[00:04:29]
You robbed me of my sweet little babe[00:04:36]
That I never shall see no more [00:04:41]
Well they had not been[00:05:19]
On the ship three weeks[00:05:22]
I swear it was not four[00:05:26]
Until there came a leak in the ship[00:05:33]
And she sank[00:05:40]
To rise no more[00:05:42]
