lirik lagu chris cohen - house carpenter
we’ve met, we’ve met my old true love
we’ve met, we’ve met said he
i’ve just returned from the salt salt sea
and it’s all for the love of thee
come in, come in my old true love
and have a seat with me
it’s been three fourths of a long long year
since together we have been
no, i can’t come in, i can’t sit down
i have but a moment’s time
they say you are married to a house carpenter
and your heart will never be mine
i could have married the king’s daughter fair
and she would have married me
but i’ve forsaken her crown of gold
and it’s all for the love of thee
will you forsake your house carpenter
and come along with me
i’ll take you where the gr-ss grows green
on the banks of ittery
then she picked up her darling little babe
and kisses she gave it thee
saying stay right here my darling little babe
and keep your papa company
they had not been on the ship two weeks
i’m sure it was not three
till his true love began to weep and mourn
and she wept most bitterly
oh is it for your silver you weep
oh is it for your store
or is it for that house carpenter
whose face you’ll never see anymore?
a curse, a curse to the sailor she cried
a curse, a curse she swore
you’ve robbed me of my darling little babe
whose face i’ll never see anymore
they had not been on the ship three weeks
i’m sure it was not four
they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
and it sunk for to rise no more
