The House Carpenter
Mr Fox

“Well met, well met,” said my own true love, nWell met, well met, cried he.nI've just returned from the salt, salt sea nAnd all for the love of thee.”nn“I could have married the King's daughter dear, nAnd she would have married me.nBut I have forsaken her crowns of gold and storenAll for the love of thee.”nn“Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter nAnd go along with me?nI'll take you to where the grass grows green, nTo the banks of the salt sea.”nnShe picked up her little babe, nKisses gave him three,nSaid Stay right here with my house carpenter nAnd keep him good company.”nnWell, they'd not been gone but about two weeks, nI knew it was not three.nWhen this fair lady began to weep and moan, nAnd she wept most bitterly.nnAre you weeping for your silver and gold, nAre you weeping for your store? nOr are you weeping for your house carpenter nThat you never shall see no more.nnA curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried. nA curse, a curse, she swore. nYou robbed me of my darlin' little babe, nThat I shall never see no more.nnThey had not been on the ship three weeks, nI'm sure it was not four, nWhen there came a leak in the bottom of the ship, nAnd sank them for to rise no more.n
