"Well met, well met
And I know true love
Well met, well metâââ¬ÃÂ, said he
âââ¬ÃâI'm just returning from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of theeâââ¬ÃÂ
âââ¬Ãâcome in, come in
My own true love
And have a seat with me
It's been three-fourths
Of a long, long year
Since together we have beenâââ¬ÃÂ
âââ¬Ãâno I can't come in
And I can't sit down
For I have but a moment's time
They say that you're married
To a house carpenter
And your heart shall never be mineâââ¬ÃÂ
âââ¬Ãâwell I could have married
The king's daughter fair
She would have married me
But I forsaked upon
Her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of theeâââ¬ÃÂ
âââ¬Ãânow will you forsake on
Your house carpenter

And go along with me?
I'll take you where
The grass grows green
On the banks of the bitter reedsâââ¬ÃÂ
She pick'd up her wee little babe
And kisses, gave it three saying,
âââ¬Ãâstay right here my darling little one
Keep your papa companyâââ¬ÃÂ
Now they had not been
On the ship two weeks
I swear it was not three
When his true love began
To weep and moan
And she wept most bitterly
âââ¬Ãâare you weeping
For my silver and gold
Are you weeping for my store or are
You weeping for that house carpenter
That you ne'er shall see no more?âââ¬ÃÂ
âââ¬Ãâa curse on the sailor she swore
A curse, a curse she swore
You robbed me of my sweet little babe
That I never shall see no more!âââ¬ÃÂ
Well, they had not been
On the ship three weeks
I swear it was not four
Until there came a leak in the ship
And she sank
To rise no more
