[00:00.000]The House Carpenter - Doc Watson
[00:09.410]We've met we've met my old true love
[00:13.590]We've met we've met said he
[00:17.290]I've just returned from the salt salt sea
[00:21.260]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:26.170]I could have married the King's daughter fair
[00:30.110]She would have married me
[00:33.900]But I've forsaken her crown of gold
[00:37.830]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:45.350]Come in come in my old true love
[00:49.470]Come in she said to him
[00:52.890]For it's been three fourths of a long long year
[00:56.970]Since together we have been
[01:00.630]No I can't come in nor I can't sit down
[01:04.940]For I have but a moment's time
[01:08.540]And they say that
[01:09.970]You're married to a house carpenter
[01:12.460]And your heart will never be mine
[01:22.100]Will you come with me my old true love
[01:26.140]Oh come with me said he
[01:29.490]And I'll take you to where the grass grows green
[01:33.610]On the banks of Bittery
[01:39.089]Then she picked up her sweet little babe
[01:42.869]And kisses she gave it three
[01:46.429]Sayin stay at home my darlin little babe
[01:50.319]And keep your papa company
[02:02.609]Then he jumped on a milk white steppe
[02:06.289]And her on a dapple grey
[02:09.659]They rode until they came to the banks of a sea
[02:13.649]Three hours before the break of day
[02:17.539]They had not been on the ship two weeks
[02:21.409]I'm sure it was not three
[02:25.059]Until his true love began to weep and to mourn
[02:29.079]And she wept most bitterly
[02:36.309]Oh is it for my silver you weep
[02:40.529]Is it for my store
[02:43.819]Or is it for that house carpenter
[02:47.809]Whose face you'll never see no more
[02:51.399]It's neither for you silver I weep
[02:55.529]And neither for your store
[02:58.999]But it's all for the sake of my sweet little babe
[03:02.939]Whose face I'll never see no more
[03:11.179]Then a curse a curse to the sailor she cried
[03:15.219]A curse a curse she swore
[03:18.809]You've robbed me of my house carpenter
[03:22.659]Whose face I'll never see no more
[03:26.409]They had not been on the ship three weeks
[03:30.079]I'm sure it was not four
[03:33.719]Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
[03:37.559]And it sunk for to rise no more
