lyrics

The Sailor

"Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met", cried he
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
All for the love of thee"

I could have married the king's daughter dear
She would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
All for the love of thee

The Carpenter's Wife

Well, if you could have married
The king's daughter dear
I'm sure you are to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And find him a nice young man

The Sailor

Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
To the banks of the salt, salt sea
To the banks of the salt, salt sea


The Carpenter's Wife

Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And go along with thee
What have you got to maintain me on
And keep me from poverty?

The Sailor

Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Will be at your own command


The Carpenter's Wife AND The Sailor

She picked up her own wee babe
Kisses gave him three
Said, "Stay right here with my house carpenter
And keep him good company"

Then she put on her rich attire
So glorious to behold
And as she trod along her way
She shone like the glittering gold

Well, they'd not been gone
But about two weeks
I know it was not three
When this fair lady began to weep
She wept most bitterly

Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid
Weep it for your golden store?
Or do you weep for your house carpenter
Who never you shall see anymore?

The Carpenter's Wife

I do not weep for my house carpenter
Or for any golden store
I do weep for my own wee babe
Who never I shall see anymore


The Carpenter's Wife AND The Sailor

Well, they'd not been gone
But about three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
Their gallant ship sprang a leak and sank
Never to rise anymore
Never to rise anymore

One time around spun their gallant ship
Two times around spun she
Three times around spun their gallant ship
And sank to the bottom of the sea
And sank to the bottom of the sea..
And sank to the bottom of the sea


The Carpenter's Wife

What hills, what hills are those, my love
That rise so fair and high?

The Sailor

Those are the hills of heaven, my love
But not for you and I

The Carpenter's Wife

And what hills, what hills are those, my love
Those hills so dark and low?

The Sailor

Those are the hills of hell, my love
Where you and I must go
Where you and I must go

The Sailor and the Carpenter’s Wife

Where you and I must go
Where you and I must go
