Nickel Creek - House Carpenter |
| [00:07.28] |
|
| [00:18.21] |
|
| [00:24.94] |
Well met, well met, said an old true love |
| [00:31.04] |
Well met, well met, said he |
| [00:37.13] |
I just returned from the salt, salt sea |
| [00:43.00] |
And its all for the love of thee |
| [00:47.84] |
|
| [00:48.89] |
Come in, come in, my own true love |
| [00:54.47] |
And have a seat by me |
| [01:00.74] |
Its been three-fourths of a long, long year |
| [01:05.28] |
Since together we have been |
| [01:12.50] |
|
| [01:33.24] |
I cant come in and i can't sit down |
| [01:39.69] |
For ive only a moments time |
| [01:45.20] |
They say youre married to a house carpenter |
| [01:50.10] |
And your heart will never be mine |
| [01:56.33] |
I couldve married the kings daughter fair |
| [02:03.31] |
And she wouldve married me |
| [02:08.12] |
But i have forsaken her crowns of gold |
| [02:14.79] |
And it's all for the love of thee |
| [02:20.27] |
|
| [02:41.77] |
Now will you forsake your house carpenter |
| [02:47.70] |
And come along with me |
| [02:53.98] |
I'll take you where, the grass grows green |
| [02:59.95] |
On the banks of the deep blue sea |
| [03:04.86] |
Then she picked up her darling little babe |
| [03:11.44] |
And kisses she gave it three |
| [03:17.12] |
Saying stay right here you darling little babe |
| [03:23.06] |
And keep your pop company |
| [03:29.13] |
|
| [03:52.03] |
They had not been on the ship two weeks |
| [04:00.07] |
I'm sure it was not three |
| [04:05.45] |
Til this true love began to weep and to mourn |
| [04:11.34] |
And she wept most bitterly |
| [04:16.77] |
Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold? |
| [04:22.66] |
Saying are you weeping for my store? |
| [04:29.10] |
Or are you weeping, for your house carpenter |
| [04:34.70] |
Whose face youll never see no more? |
| [04:40.82] |
A curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried |
| [04:45.83] |
A curse, a curse, she swore |
| [04:52.49] |
You robbed me of the darling little babe |
| [04:58.40] |
That i shall never see no more |
| [05:03.38] |
|
| [05:04.35] |
They had not been on the ship three weeks |
| [05:09.86] |
Im sure it was not four |
| [05:16.01] |
When there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship |
| [05:22.16] |
And sank them for to rise no more |
