[00:30.71]Well met well met said an old true love
[00:38.06]Well met well met said he
[00:42.73]I've just returned from the salt salt sea
[00:47.6]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:53.08]Come in come in my old true love
[01:01.73]And have a seat with me
[01:07.0]It's been three fourths of a long long year
[01:11.42]Since together we have been
[01:21.32]No I can't come in I can't sit down
[01:29.91]For I have but a moment's time
[01:34.15]They say you are married to a house carpenter
[01:38.03]And your heart will never be mine
[01:56.33]Yet I could have married a king's daughter dear
[02:04.28]And I'm sure she'd have married me
[02:08.37]But I've forsaken her crowns of gold
[02:12.51]And it's all for the love of thee
[02:23.33]Will you forsaken your house carpenter
[02:30.79001]And go along with me
[02:36.88]I'll take you where the grass grows green
[02:41.72]On the banks of the deep blue sea
[02:45.82]On the banks of the deep blue sea
[02:49.84]On the banks of the deep blue sea
[03:01.18]She picked up her little babe
[03:08.37]And kisses gave it three
[03:14.79]Say's stay right here my darling little babe
[03:19.4]And keep your papa company
[03:38.91]Hadn't been on the ship but about two weeks
[03:47.07]I'm sure it was not three
[03:54.58]'Til his true love began to weep and moan
[03:58.15]And she weeped most bitterly
[04:01.81]Says are you weeping for my silver or my gold
[04:16.86]Are you weeping for my silver or my store
[04:24.53]Are you weeping for your house carpenter
[04:28.22]Whose face you'll never see no more
[04:37.52]I'm not weeping for your silver or your gold
[04:44.64]No I'm not weeping for your store
[04:52.82]I am weeping for my darling little babe
[04:57.31]Whose face I'll never see no more
[05:33.62]They hadn't been on the ship but about three weeks
[05:41.86]I'm sure it was not four
[05:46.08002]'Til they sprung a leak in the bottom of the ship
[05:51.71]Sunk and never rise no more
[05:55.83002]Sunk and never rise no more
[05:59.66998]Sunk and never rise no more
