The House Carpenter (房屋木匠) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
"Well met well met my own true love[00:00:15]
Well met well met" cried he[00:00:20]
"I've just returned from the salt salt sea[00:00:24]
All for the love of thee"[00:00:29]
I could have married the king's daughter dear[00:00:35]
She would have married me[00:00:40]
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold[00:00:44]
All for the love of thee[00:00:49]
Well if you could have married[00:00:55]
The king's daughter dear[00:00:57]
I'm sure you are to blame[00:01:00]
For I am married to a house carpenter[00:01:04]
And find him a nice young man[00:01:08]
Oh will you forsake your house carpenter[00:01:14]
And go along with me [00:01:19]
I'll take you to where the grass grows green[00:01:23]
To the banks of the salt salt sea[00:01:27]
Well if I should forsake my house carpenter[00:01:36]
And go along with thee[00:01:40]
What have you got to maintain me on[00:01:44]
And keep me from poverty [00:01:48]
Six ships six ships all out on the sea[00:01:54]
Seven more upon dry land[00:01:59]
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men[00:02:02]
Will be at your command[00:02:07]
She picked up her own wee babe[00:02:15]
Kisses gave him three[00:02:19]
Said "Stay right here with my house carpenter[00:02:23]
And keep him good company"[00:02:27]
Then she put on her rich attire[00:02:33]
So glorious to behold[00:02:37]
And as she trod along her way[00:02:41]
She shown like the glittering gold[00:02:45]
Well they'd not been gone[00:02:54]
But about two weeks[00:02:56]
I know it was not three[00:02:58]
When this fair lady began to weep[00:03:01]
She wept most bitterly[00:03:06]
Ah why do you weep my fair young maid[00:03:12]
Weep it for your golden store [00:03:16]
Or do you weep for your house carpenter[00:03:20]
Who never you shall see anymore [00:03:24]
I do weep for my own wee babe[00:03:30]
Who never I shall see anymore[00:03:34]
Well they'd not been gone[00:03:43]
But about three weeks[00:03:45]
I'm sure it was not four[00:03:47]
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank[00:03:51]
Never to rise anymore[00:03:55]
One time around spun our gallant ship[00:04:01]
Two times around spun she[00:04:04]
Three times around spun our gallant ship[00:04:08]
And sank to the bottom of the sea[00:04:12]
What hills what hills are those my love[00:04:20]
That rise so fair and high [00:04:24]
Those are the hills of heaven my love[00:04:29]
But not for you and I[00:04:32]
And what hills what hills are those my love[00:04:38]
Those hills so dark and low [00:04:43]
Those are the hills of hell my love[00:04:47]
Where you and I must go[00:04:51]
