Nickel Creek - House Carpenter

Well met, well met, said an old true love

well met, well met, said he

I have just returned from the salt, salt sea

and its all for the love of thee

come in, come in, my own true love

and have a seat by me

its been three-fourths of a long, long year

since together we have been

i cant come in and i cant sit down

for i've only a moments time

they say youre married to a house carpenter

and your heart will never be mine

i could've married the kings daughter fair

and she would've married me

but i have forsaken, her crowns of gold

and it's all for the love of thee

now will you forsake your house carpenter

and come go with me

i'll take you where, the grass grows green

on the banks of the deep blue sea

then she picked up her darling little babe

and kisses she gave it three

saying stay right here you darling little babe

and keep your papa company

they had not been on the ship two weeks

i'm sure it was not three

til this true love began to weep and to mourn

and she wept most bitterly

saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?

saying are you weeeping for my store?

or are you weeping, for your house carpenter

whose face you'll never see no more?

a curse, a curse, to the sailor, she cried

a curse, a curse, she swore

you robbed me of the darling little babe

that i shall never see no more

they had not been on the ship three weeks

i'm sure it was not four

when there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship

and sank them for to rise no more
