intro: Cm (fast travis picking during the whole song)
CmWell met, well met my own true love well met, well met cried he. I've just returned from the salt salt sea and it's all for the love of thee.
CmCome in, A#mcome in Cmmy own true love, Cmand have A#ma seat with Cmme, for Cmit's been three quarters of a A#mlong, long year since Cmtogether A#mwe have Cmbeen.
CmI can't come in and I can't sit down I haven't but a moment's time. But I hear you're married to the house carpenter so your love will never be mine.
CmAnd I could've A#mmarried with the Cmking's daughter there, so free she A#mwas with Cmme. But I forsook all the A#mcrowns and gold and it's Cmall for the A#mlove of Cmthee.
CmIf you would have A#mmarried with the Cmking's daughter there, I'm sure you A#mare to Cmblame. And it's now I've married to the A#mhouse carpenter and CmI'm sure he's a A#mfine young Cmman.
CmWell will you forsake your house carpenter and come away with me' I'll take you down to where the grass grows green, down by the sweet dundee.
Cm(So she picked A#mup her Cmtine wee babe and kisses A#mgave it Cmthree, saying stay right here my A#msweet, sweet dear and Cmkeep your faA#mther Cmcompany.
CmWell they hadn't been on A#mship but Cmabout 2 weeks, I'm sure it A#mwas not Cm3, Cm... when she espied his cloven foot and began to weep most bitterly.)
CmAre you A#mweeping for your Cmhouse and land, or are you A#mweeping for your Cmstore, or are you weeping for the hA#mouse carpenter whose Cmface A#myou'll never see no Cmmore'
CmNo I'm not A#mweeping for my Cmhouse and land, I'm not A#mweeping for my Cmstore, Cmit'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 3 weeks, I'm sure it was not 4, when he stomped his foot and down she sank, and sank to arise no more.)
CmWell met, A#mwell met my Cmown true love love, well met, A#mwell met cried Cmhe. I've just returned to the A#msalt salt Cmsea and it's all for the love of thee.
