"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 it's all for the love of thee" "Come in, come in," said his old true love "And have a seat by me It's been three quarters of a long, long year Since together we have been" I can't come in and I can't sit down For I've only a moment's time And they say you've married a house carpenter So your heart will never be in mine I could have married the king's daughter fair And she would have married me But I have forsaken her crowns of gold And it's all for the love of thee So, will you forsaken your house carpenter And go along with me? I'll take you where the grass grows green On the banks of the deep blue sea So she picked up her darling little babe And kisses, she gave it three Saying "Stay right here, you sweet little babe And keep your papa company" They had not been on that ship two weeks And I'm sure it was not three 'Til his true love began to weep and to mourn And she wept most bitterly Saying are you weepin' for my silver and my gold Or are you weepin' for my store? Or are you weepin' for your house carpenter Whose face you'll never see no more? I am not weepin' for your silver or your gold I am not weepin' for your store, no I am weepin' for my darlin' little babe Whose face I'll never see no more A curse, a curse to that sailor, she cried A curse, a curse she swore You've robbed me of my sweet little babe Whose face I'll never see no more What is, what is that mountain, my love? All covered in death and snow? Oh, those, they are the gates of hell Where you and I must go They had not been on that ship three weeks And I'm sure it was not four 'Til his true love sprang a leak in that ship And it sank them for to rise no more
