lirik lagu jean ritchie & doc watson - the house carpenter
“well, i once could~a married the king’s third son
and a fine young man was he
but now, i’m married to a house carpenter
and a nice young man is he
and a nice young man is he”
“oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
and go along with me?
i will take you to where the grass grows green
on the banks of the river deep
on the banks of the river deep”
“but will you have to maintain me upon
to keep me from slavery”
well, i have seven ships, they will soon be at land
and they, at your command, shall be
and they, at your command, shall be”
she took her two babes by their heads
and gave them kisses three
says, “stay at home, you darling little babes
keep your father sweet company
keep your father sweet company”
now, she dressed herself in her very best
like a high~born lady was she
she shimmered and she shammered and she lovely stepped
as they walked by the banks of the sea
as they walked by the banks of the sea
well, she hadn’t been gone but short, short time
until she wept full sore
“i would give all the gold in this round world
just to see my babes once more
just to see my babes once more”
“well, if you had all the gold and the silver too
that ever crossed the sea
you never would be at land anymore
and your babes you will never more see
and your babes you will never more see”
oh, they hadn’t been sailing but a short, short time
’bout two weeks, three or four
when the ship sprang a leak, and they were doomed
and they were far away from the shore
and they were far away from the shore
“i see bright hills of heaven, my dear
where angels come and go”
“i see bright hills, that’s h~ll, my dear
where you and i must go
where you and i must go”
“oh, i wished i was back to my house carpenter
i’m sure he would treat me well
but here i am in the raging sea
and my soul is bound for h~ll
and my soul is bound for h~ll”
