This a story about a ghost come back from out of the sea |
| [00:08.03] |
Come to take his bride away from the house carpenter |
| [00:13.77] |
Well met well met my own true love |
| [00:17.29] |
Well met well met cried she |
| [00:21.06] |
I've just returned from the salt salt sea |
| [00:24.36] |
And it's all for the love of thee |
| [00:28.38] |
I could have married a king's daughter there |
| [00:32.26] |
She would have married me |
| [00:35.73] |
But I have forsaken my king's daughter there |
| [00:39.20] |
It's all for the love of thee |
| [00:57.74] |
Well if you could have married a king's daughter there |
| [01:02.18] |
I'm sure you're the one to blame |
| [01:06.00] |
For I am married to a house carpenter |
| [01:08.62] |
And I'm sure he's a fine young man |
| [01:14.71] |
Forsake forsake your house carpenter |
| [01:19.02] |
And come away with me |
| [01:22.55] |
I'll take you to where the green grass grows |
| [01:25.78] |
On the shores of sunny Italy |
| [01:29.59] |
So up she picked her babies three |
| [01:33.27] |
And gave them kisses one two three |
| [01:36.54] |
Saying "Take good care of your daddy when I'm gone |
| [01:42.03] |
And keep him good company" |
| [02:02.96] |
Well they were sailing about two weeks |
| [02:06.36] |
I'm sure it was not three |
| [02:10.80] |
When the younger of the girls she came on deck |
| [02:14.22] |
Saying she wants company |
| [02:20.47] |
Well are you weeping for your house and home |
| [02:25.06] |
Or are you weeping for your babies three |
| [02:29.26] |
Well I'm not weeping for my house carpenter |
| [02:34.41] |
I'm weeping for my babies three |
| [02:42.52] |
Oh what are those hills yonder my love |
| [02:46.97] |
They look as white as snow |
| [02:51.81] |
Those are the hill of heaven my love |
| [02:54.87] |
You and I'll never know |
| [02:58.77] |
Oh what are those hills yonder my love |
| [03:04.73] |
They look as dark as night |
| [03:08.81] |
Those are the hills of hell fire my love |
| [03:12.78] |
Where you and I will unite |
| [03:32.01] |
Oh twice around went the gallant ship |
| [03:36.35] |
I'm sure it was not three |
| [03:40.55] |
When the ship all of a sudden it sprung a leak |
| [03:45.83] |
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea |
