《The House Carpenter》歌词

[00:00:00] The House Carpenter - Clarence Ashley

[00:00:02] Well met well met said an old true love

[00:00:09] Well met well met said he

[00:00:14] I just returned from the salt salt sea

[00:00:17] And it's all for the love of thee

[00:00:22] Come in come in my own true love

[00:00:29] And have a seat with me

[00:00:33] It's been three-fourths of a long long year

[00:00:36] Since together we have been

[00:00:41] Well I can't come in or I can't sit down

[00:00:47] For I've but a moment's time

[00:00:52] They say you're married to a house carpenter

[00:00:55] And your heart will never be mine

[00:01:00] That I could have married a King's daughter fair

[00:01:06] I'm sure she'd married me

[00:01:11] But I've forsaken her crowns of gold

[00:01:14] And it's all for the love of thee

[00:01:19] Now we you forsake your house carpenter

[00:01:25] And go along with me

[00:01:30] I'll take you where the grass grows green

[00:01:33] On the banks of the deep blue sea

[00:01:39] She picked up a little babe

[00:01:45] And kisses she gave it three

[00:01:49] Saying Stay right here my dalring little baby

[00:01:52] And keep your pappa company

[00:01:58] Well they had been on the ship about two weeks

[00:02:04] I'm sure it was not three

[00:02:08] Till his true love began to weep and to mourn

[00:02:12] We most bitterly

[00:02:16] Saying Are you weeping for my silver and my gold

[00:02:22] Saying Are you weeping for my store

[00:02:26] Are you weeping for that house carpenter

[00:02:29] Whose face you'll never see any more

[00:02:34] Lord I'm not weeping for your silver and your gold

[00:02:39] Are you needed for your store

[00:02:44] I am weeping for my darling little babe

[00:02:46] Whose face you'll never see any more

[00:02:51] Well they had not been on the ship about three weeks

[00:02:57] I'm sure it was not four

[00:03:01] Tell it's brand a leak in the bottom of the ship

[00:03:05] And sank them for to rise no more
