House Carpenter |
| Well met, well met, my own true love |
| Well met, well met, cried he |
| I've just returned from the salt, salt sea |
| All for the love of thee |
| Well I could have married the King's daughter, dear |
| She would have married me |
| But I have forsaken her crowns of gold |
| All for the love of thee |
| Well, if you could have married the King's daughter, dear |
| I know you are to blame |
| For I am married to a house carpenter |
| And I find him a nice young man |
| Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter |
| And go along with me? |
| I'll take you to where the grass grows green |
| To the banks of the salt, salt sea |
| Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter |
| And go along with thee |
| What have you got to maintain me on |
| And keep me from poverty? |
| Six ships, six ships all out on the sea |
| Seven more upon dry land |
| One hundred and ten all brave sailor men |
| Will be at your command |
| So she picked up her own wee babe |
| Kisses she gave him three |
| Said, stay right here with my house carpenter |
| And keep him good company |
| Well, they had not been gone about two weeks |
| I know it wasn't three |
| For our fair lady began to weep |
| She wept most bitterly |
| She wept most bitterly |
| She wept most bitterly |
