| [00:14.08] |
"Well met, well met, my own true love |
| [00:19.18] |
Well met, well met", cried he |
| [00:23.33] |
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea |
| [00:28.19] |
All for the love of thee" |
| [00:34.63] |
I could have married the king's daughter dear |
| [00:39.37] |
She would have married me |
| [00:43.31] |
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold |
| [00:47.94] |
All for the love of thee |
| [00:54.09] |
Well, if you could have married |
| [00:56.45] |
The king's daughter dear |
| [00:58.85] |
I'm sure you are to blame |
| [01:02.99] |
For I am married to a house carpenter |
| [01:07.43] |
And find him a nice young man |
| [01:13.71] |
Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter |
| [01:18.32] |
And go along with me? |
| [01:22.31] |
I'll take you to where the grass grows green |
| [01:26.59] |
To the banks of the salt, salt sea |
| [01:34.99] |
Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter |
| [01:39.43] |
And go along with thee |
| [01:43.42] |
What have you got to maintain me on |
| [01:47.76] |
And keep me from poverty? |
| [01:53.90] |
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea |
| [01:58.18] |
Seven more upon dry land |
| [02:02.26] |
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men |
| [02:06.41] |
Will be at your command |
| [02:14.75] |
She picked up her own wee babe |
| [02:19.19] |
Kisses gave him three |
| [02:22.63] |
Said, "Stay right here with my house carpenter |
| [02:27.06] |
And keep him good company" |
| [02:32.91] |
Then she put on her rich attire |
| [02:37.15] |
So glorious to behold |
| [02:41.08] |
And as she trod along her way |
| [02:45.18] |
She shown like the glittering gold |
| [02:53.30] |
Well, they'd not been gone |
| [02:55.31] |
But about two weeks |
| [02:57.55] |
I know it was not three |
| [03:01.31] |
When this fair lady began to weep |
| [03:05.40] |
She wept most bitterly |
| [03:11.34] |
Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid |
| [03:15.58] |
Weep it for your golden store? |
| [03:19.43] |
Or do you weep for your house carpenter |
| [03:23.59] |
Who never you shall see anymore? |
| [03:29.88] |
I do not weep for my house carpenter |
| [03:33.81] |
Or for any golden store |
| [03:37.86] |
I do weep for my own wee babe |
| [03:41.65] |
Who never I shall see anymore |
| [03:50.64] |
Well, they'd not been gone |
| [03:52.59] |
But about three weeks |
| [03:54.84] |
I'm sure it was not four |
| [03:58.51] |
Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank |
| [04:02.65] |
Never to rise anymore |
| [04:08.65] |
One time around spun our gallant ship |
| [04:12.55] |
Two times around spun she |
| [04:16.30] |
Three times around spun our gallant ship |
| [04:20.35] |
And sank to the bottom of the sea |
| [04:28.08] |
What hills, what hills are those, my love |
| [04:32.46] |
That rise so fair and high? |
| [04:36.59] |
Those are the hills of heaven, my love |
| [04:40.48] |
But not for you and I |
| [04:46.18] |
And what hills, what hills are those, my love |
| [04:50.67] |
Those hills so dark and low? |
| [04:54.81] |
Those are the hills of hell, my love |
| [04:58.85] |
Where you and I must go |
