Текст песни House Carpenter - Dawn McCarthy

Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried he
For I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat with me
For it's been three quarters of a long, long year
Since together we have been
I'll not come in, and I'll not sit down
I haven't but a thought this time
But I hear you are married to a house carpenter
And your love will never be mine
Then I could have married with a king's daughter there
So free she was with me
But I forsook all the crowns and the gold
And it's all for the love of thee
Well if you could have married to a king's daughter there
I'm sure you are to blame
And it's now I'm married to a house carpenter
And I'm sure he's a fine young man
Well, will you forsake your house carpenter
And come away with me
I'll take you down where the grass grows green
Down by the sweet Dundee
So she picked up her tiny wee babe
And kisses gave it three
Saying stay right here my sweet, sweet dear
And keep your father company
Well they hadn't been on ship for about two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
When she espied his cloven foot
And began to weep most bitterly
Well, are you weeping for your house and land?
Are you weeping for your store?
Or are you weeping for your house carpenter
Whose face you'll never see no more?
No, I'm not weeping for my house and land
I'm not weeping for my store
And it's now I'm weeping for my soul so dear
Whose purity I'll never see no more
Well they hadn't been on ship for about three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
When he stomped his foot, and down she sank
And sank to rise no more
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried he
And I've just returned to the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
