cara (folk artist) - the house carpenter lyrics
“well met, well met, my own true love
well met, well met,” says he
“i’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea
and it’s all for the love of thee.”
“i could have married the king’s daughter dear
and she would have married me
but i’ve forsaken my king’s daughter there
and it’s all for the love of thee.”
“if you could have married the king’s daughter there
i’m sure you’re thе one to blame
for i am married to thе house carpenter
and i’m sure he’s a fine young man.”
“forsake, forsake your house carpenter
and come along with me
i’ll take you where the green grass grows
on the shores of sunny italy.”
“come along, for the memories are strong
take me home, to the place i belong.”
and up she picked her babies three
gave them one, two, three
saying, “take good care of your daddy when i’m gone
and keep him good company.”
they were sailing about two weeks
i’m sure it was not three
when the youngest of the girls she came on deck
saying what’s company
“are you weeping for your house, and your home
is that were you long to be?
no i’m not weeping for my house carpenter
i’m weeping for my babies three.”
“come along, for the memories are strong
take me home, to the place i belong.”
“what are those hills younder my love
they look as white as snow?”
those are the hill of heaven, my love
but you, and i’ll never know.”
““what are those hills younder my love
they look as dark as light?”
“those are the hills of h+llfire my love
those are the hills of h+llfire my love
where you, and i will alight.”
it was around the galloon ship
i’m sure it was not three
when the ship of the south it sprung a leak
and drifted to the botton of the sea
“come along, for the memories are strong
take me home, to the place i belong.”
“well met, well met, my own true love
well met, well met,” cried she
“i’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea
and it’s all for the love of thee.”
all for the love fo thee
all for the love of thee
