[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
