[00:00:02] We'll met we'll met said an old true love

[00:00:08] We'll met we'll met said he

[00:00:13] I'm just returning from

[00:00:15] The salt salt sea and it's all

[00:00:18] For the love of thee

[00:00:22] Climb in climb in my old true love

[00:00:28] And have a seat with me

[00:00:33] It's been three-fourths of

[00:00:34] A long long year since

[00:00:36] Together we have been

[00:00:40] Well I can't come in or I can't sit down

[00:00:47] For I haven't but a moment's time

[00:00:52] They say you're married to

[00:00:53] A house carpenter and your

[00:00:55] Heart will never be mine

[00:00:59] Now it's I coulda married a

[00:01:02] King's daughter here

[00:01:06] I'm sure she'da married me

[00:01:10] But I've forsaken her crowns

[00:01:13] Of gold and it's all for

[00:01:14] The love of thee

[00:01:18] Now will you forsaken your house carpenter

[00:01:25] And go along with me

[00:01:29] I'll take you where the grass

[00:01:31] Grows green on the banks

[00:01:33] Of the deep blue sea

[00:01:38] She picked up here little babe

[00:01:44] And kisses gave him three

[00:01:48] Says stay right here

[00:01:50] My darling little babe and keep

[00:01:52] Your pappa company

[00:01:57] Well they hadn't been

[00:01:58] On ship but about two weeks

[00:02:03] I'm sure it wasn't three

[00:02:07] Well his true love began to weep

[00:02:09] And mourn and he

[00:02:11] Weeped most bitterly

[00:02:15] Says are you a-weepin'

[00:02:17] For my silver or my gold

[00:02:20] Says are you weeping for my store

[00:02:25] Are you weeping for that

[00:02:27] House carpenter whose face

[00:02:29] You'll never see any more

[00:02:32] No it's I'm not a-weepin'

[00:02:35] For your silver or your gold

[00:02:38] Or neither for your store

[00:02:42] I am weeping for my darling

[00:02:44] Little babe whose face I'll

[00:02:46] Never see any more

[00:02:50] Well they hadn't been on ship

[00:02:52] But about three weeks

[00:02:56] I'm sure it wasn't four

[00:03:00] 'Til they sprung a leak

[00:03:02] In the bottom of the ship and

[00:03:03] They sunk for to rise no more
