(Traditional, Arr. Sara Watkins / Alison Krauss)

"Well met, well met, said an old true love.
"Well met, well met, said he.
"I have 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 by me.
It`s been three-fourths of a long, long year,
Since together, we have been.

"I can`t come in and I can`t sit down,
"For I`ve only a moment`s time.
"They say you`re married to a house carpenter,
"And your heart will never be mine.

"I could have married a King`s daughter, fair,
"And she would have married me,
"But I have forsaken her crowns of gold,
"And it`s all for the love of thee."

"Now you forsake your house carpenter,
"And go along with me.
"I`ll take you where the grass grows green.
"On the banks of the deep blue sea."

Then she picked up a darlin` little babe,
And kisses, she gave it three.
Saying "Stay right here, my dalrin` little baby,
"And keep your pappa company."

They had not been on the ship two weeks,
I`m sure it was not three,
Till his true love began to weep and to mourn,
And she wept most bitterly.

Sayin`: "Are you weepin` for my silver and my gold."
Sayin`: "Are you weepin` for my store?
"Or are you weepin` for your house carpenter,
"Whose face you`ll never see no more?"

"A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried.
"A curse, a curse," she swore.
"You robbed me of my darlin` little babe,
"That I shall never see no more."

They had not been on the ship three weeks,
I`m sure it was not four,
When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship,
And sank them for to rise no more.
