Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried she
I’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it’s all for the love of thee

I could have married a king’s daughter there
She would have married me
But i have forsaken my king’s daughter there
It’s all for the love of thee

Well, if you could have married a king’s daughter there
I’m sure you’re the one to blame
For i am married to a house carpenter
And i’m sure he’s a fine young man

Forsake, forsake your house carpenter
And come away with me
I’ll take you where the green grass grows
On the shores of sunny italy

So up she picked her babies three
And gave them kisses, one, two, three
Saying "take good care of your daddy while i’m gone
And keep him good company."

Well, they were sailin’ about two weeks
I’m sure it was not three
When the younger of the girls, she came on deck
Sayin’ she wants company

"well, are you weepin’ for your house and home?
Or are you weepin’ for your babies three?"
"well, i’m not weepin’ for my house carpenter
I’m weepin’ for my babies three."

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as white as snow
Those are the hill of heaven, my love
You and i’ll never know

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as dark as night
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love
Where you and i will unite

Oh twice around went the gallant ship
I’m sure it was not three
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea

Well met, well met, said an old true love
well met, well met, said he
i just returned from the salt, salt sea
and its all for the love of thee

come in, come in, my own true love
and have a seat by me
its been three-fourths of a long, long year
since together we have been

i cant come in and i cant sit down
for ive only a moments time
they say youre married to a house carpenter
and your heart will never be mine

i couldve married the kings daughter fair
and she wouldve married me
but i have forsaken, her crowns of gold
and all for the love of thee

now will you forsake your house carpenter
and come along with me
ill take you where, the grass grows green
on the banks of the deep blue sea

then she picked up her darling little babe
and kisses she gave it three
saying stay right here you darling little babe
and keep your pop company

they had not been on the ship two weeks
im sure it was not three
til this true love began to weep and to mourn
and she wept most bitterly

saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?
saying are you weeeping for my store?
or are you weeping, for your house carpenter
whose face youll never see no more?

i am not weeping for your silver and your gold
i am not weeping for your store
no i am weeping, for my darling little babe
whose face ill never see no more

they had not been on the ship three weeks
im sure it was not four
when there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship
and sank them for to rise no more
