"Well met, well met" said an old true love |
| [00:09.34] |
"Well met, well met" said he |
| [00:14.38] |
"I'm just returning from the salt, salt sea and it's all for the love of thee" |
| [00:22.94] |
"Come in, come in, my old true love |
| [00:29.33] |
And have a seat with me |
| [00:33.72] |
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year since together we have been" |
| [00:41.62] |
"Well I can't come in or I can't sit down |
| [00:47.96] |
For I haven't but a moment's time |
| [00:52.69] |
They say you're married to a house carpenter and your heart will never be mine" |
| [01:00.59] |
"Now it's I could-a married a king's daughter here |
| [01:06.96] |
I'm sure she'd-a married me |
| [01:11.84] |
But I've forsaken her crowns of gold and it's all for the love of thee" |
| [01:19.90] |
"Now will you forsaken your house carpenter |
| [01:26.07] |
And go along with me? |
| [01:30.27] |
I'll take you where the grass grows green on the banks of the deep blue sea" |
| [01:39.33] |
She picked up her little babe |
| [01:45.72] |
And kisses gave him three |
| [01:49.63] |
Says, "Stay right here, my darling little babe and keep your papa company" |
| [01:58.24] |
Well they hadn't been on ship but about two weeks |
| [02:04.73] |
I'm sure it was not three |
| [02:08.93] |
Till his true love began to weep and mourn and he weeped most bitterly |
| [02:16.53] |
Says, "Are you a-weeping for my silver or my gold?" |
| [02:22.10] |
Says, "Are you a-weeping for my store?" |
| [02:27.01] |
Are you weeping for that house carpenter whose face you'll never see anymore?" |
| [02:34.21] |
"No it's I'm not a-weeping for your silver or your gold |
| [02:39.84] |
Or neither for your store |
| [02:44.48] |
I am weeping for my darling little babe whose face I'll never see anymore" |
| [02:51.90] |
Well they hadn't been on ship but about three weeks |
| [02:57.98] |
I'm sure it was not four |
| [03:02.06] |
Till they sprung a leak in the bottom of the ship and they sunk for to rise no more |
| [03:07.61] |
