[00:00.00]House Carpenter - Tony Rice
[00:12.13]Well met well met said an old true love
[00:18.13]Well met well met said he
[00:22.86]I'm just returning from the salt salt sea
[00:27.10]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:34.30]Come in come in my own true love
[00:40.14]And have a sit over of me
[00:44.69]It's been three fourths of a long long year
[00:49.14]Since together we have been
[00:56.09]I can't come in and I can't sit down
[01:02.22]For I'm only a moment's times
[01:06.75]They say you're married to a house carpenter
[01:11.11]And your heart will never be mine
[01:18.42]Well I could have married the king's daughter fair
[01:24.13]And she would have married me
[01:28.99]But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
[01:33.26]And it's all for the love of thee
[01:50.06]Now will you forsaken your house carpenter
[01:56.29]And go along with me
[02:00.95]I'll take you to where the grass grows green
[02:05.17]On the banks of the deep blue sea
[02:12.28]Then she pickd up her darling little babe
[02:18.40]And kisses she gave it three
[02:22.67]Saying stay right here my darling little babe
[02:27.48]And keep your papa company
[02:34.55]They had not been on the ship two weeks
[02:40.24]I'm sure it was not three
[02:44.82]'Til his true love began to weep and mourn
[02:49.46]And she wept most bitterly
[02:56.40]Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold
[03:02.29]Saying are you weeping for my store
[03:06.83]Or are you weeping for that house carpenter
[03:11.33]Whose face you'll never see nomore
[03:28.33]A curse a curse to the sailor she cried
[03:34.14]A curse a curse she swore
[03:38.65]You've robbed me of my sweet little babe
[03:43.25]That I shall never see no more
[03:49.92]They had not been on the ship three weeks
[03:55.68]I'm sure it was not four
[04:00.06]'Til there came a leak in the bottom of the ships
[04:04.63]And it sink in for to rise no more
