House Carpenter (木匠) - Tom Glazer[00:00:00]
Well met well met said an old true love[00:00:01]
Well met well met said he[00:00:08]
I have just returned from the salt salt sea[00:00:13]
And its all for the love of thee[00:00:16]
Come in come in my own true love[00:00:22]
And have a seat by me[00:00:28]
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 and I can't sit down[00:00:40]
For I've only a moments time[00:00:47]
They say you're married to a house carpenter[00:00:51]
And your heart will never be mine[00:00:54]
I could've married the kings daughter fair[00:00:59]
And she would've married me[00:01:05]
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold[00:01:10]
And it's all for the love of thee[00:01:13]
Now will you forsake your house carpenter[00:01:18]
And go along with me[00:01:24]
I'll take you where the grass grows green[00:01:29]
On the banks of the deep blue sea[00:01:32]
She picked up her darling little baby[00:01:38]
And kisses she gave it three[00:01:43]
Saying stay right here my darling little baby[00:01:48]
And keep your papa company[00:01:51]
When they had been on the ship about two weeks[00:01:56]
I'm sure it was not three[00:02:03]
Till this true love began to weep and to mourn[00:02:07]
And she wept most bitterly[00:02:10]
Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold[00:02:14]
Saying are you weeeping for my store [00:02:20]
Or are you weeping for your house carpenter[00:02:25]
Whose face you'll never see any more[00:02:27]
When they had been on the ship sbout three weeks[00:02:49]
I'm sure it was not four[00:02:55]
When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship[00:03:00]
And sank them for to rise no more[00:03:02]
