《The House Carpenter》歌词

[00:00:00] The House Carpenter (房屋木匠) - Doc Watson

[00:00:09] We've met we've met my old true love

[00:00:13] We've met we've met said he

[00:00:17] I've just returned from the salt salt sea

[00:00:21] And it's all for the love of thee

[00:00:26] I could have married the King's daughter fair

[00:00:30] She would have married me

[00:00:33] But I've forsaken her crown of gold

[00:00:37] And it's all for the love of thee

[00:00:45] Come in come in my old true love

[00:00:49] Come in she said to him

[00:00:52] For it's been three fourths of a long long year

[00:00:56] Since together we have been

[00:01:00] No I can't come in nor I can't sit down

[00:01:04] For I have but a moment's time

[00:01:08] And they say that

[00:01:09] You're married to a house carpenter

[00:01:12] And your heart will never be mine

[00:01:22] Will you come with me my old true love

[00:01:26] Oh come with me said he

[00:01:29] And I'll take you to where the grass grows green

[00:01:33] On the banks of Bittery

[00:01:39] Then she picked up her sweet little babe

[00:01:42] And kisses she gave it three

[00:01:46] Sayin stay at home my darlin little babe

[00:01:50] And keep your papa company

[00:02:02] Then he jumped on a milk white steppe

[00:02:06] And her on a dapple grey

[00:02:09] They rode until they came to the banks of a sea

[00:02:13] Three hours before the break of day

[00:02:17] They had not been on the ship two weeks

[00:02:21] I'm sure it was not three

[00:02:25] Until his true love began to weep and to mourn

[00:02:29] And she wept most bitterly

[00:02:36] Oh is it for my silver you weep

[00:02:40] Is it for my store

[00:02:43] Or is it for that house carpenter

[00:02:47] Whose face you'll never see no more

[00:02:51] It's neither for you silver I weep

[00:02:55] And neither for your store

[00:02:58] But it's all for the sake of my sweet little babe

[00:03:02] Whose face I'll never see no more

[00:03:11] Then a curse a curse to the sailor she cried

[00:03:15] A curse a curse she swore

[00:03:18] You've robbed me of my house carpenter

[00:03:22] Whose face I'll never see no more

[00:03:26] They had not been on the ship three weeks

[00:03:30] I'm sure it was not four

[00:03:33] Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship

[00:03:37] And it sunk for to rise no more
