[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

[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
