dorothy rorick - house carpenter lyrics
“we met, we met”, cried an old true love
“we met, we met”, cried she
“i’m just returning from the salt, salt, salt
and it’s all for the sake of thee”
“i was gonna marry to the king’s daughter, dear
and i’m sure she’d a+married me
but i refused her crown of gold
and it’s all for the sake of thee”
“now, if you could of married to the king’s daughter, dear
i am sure you were much to blame
for i am married to a house carpenter
and i think he’s a nice young man”
“but if you will leave your house carpenter
and come and go with me
i’ll take you where the grass grows green
on the banks of the deep blue sea”
well, she called her three little babes to her knee
and she gave them kisses three
sayin, “stay at home, my three little babes
and keep your papa company”
they hadn’t been gone but about two weeks
and i’m sure that it was not three
till that g+y lady began to weep
and she wept most bitterly
“it’s neither for your gold i weep
and it’s neither for your store
but it is for my three little babes
that i never shall see anymore”
now, they hadn’t been gone but about three weeks
and i’m sure that it was not four
till they sprang a leak in that old ship
and it sank to rise no more
