Mick McAuley - The House Carpenter lyrics
“Well met, well met, my own true love Well met, well met,” cried she “I’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea And it’s all for the love of thee “I could have married the king’s daughter there And she would have married me But I’ve forsaken my king’s daughter there And it’s all for the love of thee” “If you could have married a king’s daughter there I’m sure you’re the one to blame For I am married to a house carpenter And I’m sure he’s a fine young man” “Forsake, forsake your house carpenter And come along with me I’ll take you where the green grass grows On the shores of sunny Italy” Come along, for the memories are strong Take me home to the place I belong And up she picked her babies three Gave them kisses, one two three Saying “take good care of your Daddy when I’m gone Keep him good company” They were sailing about two weeks I’m sure it was not three When the youngest of the girls, she came on deck Saying “what’s company?” “Are you weeping for your house and your home Is that where you long to be?” “No I’m not weeping for my house carpenter I’m weeping for my babies three” Instrumental break “What are those hills yonder my love They look as white as snow” “Those are the hills of Heaven, my love That you and I’ll never know” “What are those hills yonder my love They look as dark as night” “Those are the hills of hell-fire my love Where you and I will unite” Twice around went the gallant ship I’m sure, it was not three When the ship all of a sudden it sprung a leak And drifted to the bottom of the sea |
