[00:00:02] Well met well met said an old true love

[00:00:09] Well met well met said he

[00:00:14] I'm just returning from the salt salt sea and it's

[00:00:17] All for the love of thee

[00:00:22] Come in come in my old true love

[00:00:29] And have a seat with me

[00:00:33] It's been three fourths of a long long year since

[00:00:36] Together we have been

[00:00:41] 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 a house carpenter and your

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

[00:01:00] Now it's I could a married a king's daughter here

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

[00:01:10] But I've forsaken her crowns of gold and it's all

[00:01:14] For the love of thee

[00:01:19] 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 grows green on the

[00:01:33] Banks of the deep blue sea

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

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

[00:01:48] Says stay right here my darling little babe and keep

[00:01:52] Your papa company

[00:01:57] Well they hadn't been on ship but about two weeks

[00:02:03] I'm sure it was not three

[00:02:07] Till his true love began to weep and mourn and

[00:02:11] He weeped most bitterly

[00:02:15] Says are you a weeping for my silver or my

[00:02:19] Gold

[00:02:21] Says are you a weeping for my store

[00:02:25] Are you weeping for that house carpenter whose face you'll

[00:02:29] Never see anymore

[00:02:33] No it's I'm not a weeping for your silver or

[00:02:36] Your gold

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

[00:02:43] I am weeping for my darling little babe whose face

[00:02:46] I'll never see anymore

[00:02:50] Well they hadn't been on ship but about three weeks

[00:02:56] I'm sure it was not four

[00:03:00] Till they sprung a leak in the bottom of the

[00:03:03] Ship and they sunk for to rise no more
