[00:15.94]Well met, well met, my own true love
[00:21.99]Well met, well met, cried she
[00:26.68]
[00:27.18]I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
[00:32.49]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:36.74]
[00:38.24]I could have married a King's daughter there
[00:43.55]She would have married me
[00:47.61]
[00:48.74]But I have forsaken my King's daughter there
[00:53.92]It's all for the love of thee
[00:58.30]
[00:59.74]Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there
[01:04.86]I'm sure you're the one to blame
[01:10.30]For I am married to a house carpenter
[01:15.51]And I'm sure he's a fine young man
[01:21.71]
[01:23.85]Forsake, forsake your house carpenter
[01:29.16]And come away with me
[01:34.53]I'll take you where the green grass grows
[01:39.91]On the shores of sunny Italy
[01:44.22]
[01:45.53]So up she picked her babies three
[01:50.91]And gave them kisses, one, two, three
[01:55.55]
[01:56.11]Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone
[02:01.48]And keep him good company."
[02:05.61]
[02:58.43]They were sailin' about two weeks
[03:03.49]I'm sure it was not three
[03:07.93]
[03:08.99]When the younger of the girls, she came on deck
[03:14.55]Sayin' she wants company
[03:18.48]
[03:19.98]Are you weepin' for your house and home?
[03:25.06]Is at where long to be
[03:30.42]I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter
[03:35.74]I'm weepin' for my babies three."
[03:40.11]
[03:41.61]Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
[03:46.50]They look as white as snow
[03:52.26]Those are the hill of heaven, my love
[03:57.69]You and I'll never know
[04:01.66]
[04:03.09]Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
[04:08.03]They look as dark as night
[04:13.93]Those are the hills of hell-fire my love
[04:18.86]Where you and I will unite
[04:23.25]
[04:27.37]Oh twice around went the gallant ship
[04:32.49]I'm sure it was not three
[04:37.24]
[04:37.80]When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
[04:43.12]And it drifted to the bottom of the sea
