| [00:03.16] |
well met, well met, said an old true love |
| [00:37.84] |
i just returned from the salt, salt sea |
| [00:45.83] |
and its all for the love of thee |
| [00:49.84] |
come in, come in, my own true love |
| [00:54.85] |
and have a seat by me |
| [01:02.12] |
its been three-fourths of a long, long year |
| [01:07.59] |
since together we have been |
| [01:24.73] |
i cant come in and i cant sit down |
| [01:39.00] |
for ive only a moments time |
| [01:45.56] |
they say youre married to a house carpenter |
| [01:50.66] |
and your heart will never be mine |
| [01:57.49] |
i couldve married the kings daughter fair |
| [02:02.42] |
and she wouldve married me |
| [02:09.14] |
but i have forsaken her crowns of gold |
| [02:12.75] |
and it's all for the love of thee |
| [02:20.17] |
|
| [02:42.69] |
now will you forsake your house carpenter |
| [02:47.68] |
and come along with me |
| [02:53.83] |
ill take you where, the grass grows green |
| [03:05.05] |
on the banks of the deep blue sea |
| [03:06.92] |
|
| [03:08.29] |
then she picked up her darling little babe |
| [03:12.24] |
and kisses she gave it three |
| [03:17.38] |
saying stay right here you darling little babe |
| [03:22.96] |
and keep your pop company |
| [03:25.41] |
|
| [03:31.60] |
they had not been on the ship two weeks |
| [03:54.59] |
im sure it was not three |
| [04:05.58] |
til this true love began to weep and to mourn |
| [04:11.89] |
and she wept most bitterly |
| [04:16.19] |
|
| [04:17.99] |
saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold? |
| [04:22.66] |
saying are you weeeping for my store? |
| [04:29.17] |
or are you weeping, for your house carpenter |
| [04:35.02] |
whose face youll never see no more? |
| [04:39.75] |
|
| [04:41.23] |
a curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried |
| [04:45.74] |
a curse, a curse, she swore |
| [04:52.90] |
you robbed me of the darling little babe |
| [04:59.00] |
that i shall never see no more |
| [05:03.26] |
|
| [05:04.62] |
they had not been on the ship three weeks |
| [05:10.56] |
im sure it was not four |
| [05:15.80] |
when there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship |
| [05:22.44] |
and sank them for to rise no more |
