`well met, well met
And I know true love
Well met, well met`, said he
`I`m just returning from the salt, salt sea
And it`s all for the love of thee`
`come in, come in
My own true love
And have a seat with me
It`s been three-fourths
Of a long, long year
Since together we have been`
`no I can`t come in
And I can`t sit down
For I have but a moment`s time
They say that you`re married
To a house carpenter
And your heart shall never be mine`
`well I could have married
The king`s daughter fair
She would have married me
But I forsaked upon
Her crowns of gold
And it`s all for the love of thee`
`now will you forsake on
Your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I`ll take you where
The grass grows green
On the banks of the bitter reeds`
She pick`d up her wee little babe
And kisses, gave it three saying,
`stay right here my darling little one
Keep your papa company`
Now they had not been
On the ship two weeks
I swear it was not three
When his true love began
To weep and moan
And she wept most bitterly
`are you weeping
For my silver and gold
Are you weeping for my store or are
You weeping for that house carpenter
That you ne`er shall see no more?`
`a curse on the sailor she swore
A curse, a curse she swore
You robbed me of my sweet little babe
That I never shall see no more!`
Well, they had not been
On the ship three weeks
I swear it was not four
Until there came a leak in the ship
And she sank
To rise no more... Send " House Carpenter" Ringtone to your Cell
