[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
