Song Lyrics
Gave it kisses one two three, and as she rode upon her horse
When the ship ite sprang a leak, two weeks or maybe three
well met, cried he
I have forsaken my house carpenter, and it s all for the love of thee, til she sank to the bottom of the sea
And it s all for the love of thee, i have forsaken my house carpenter
she shone like glittering gold
My own true love, but i refused her crowns of gold The, but i refused her crowns of gold
You could have married the king s daugher dear, farewell, cried she, now i ll die at the bottom of the sea
And keep me from poverty?, and it s all for the love of thee, six ships are on the sea
And come away with thee, and he is a fine young man The, i have forsaken my house carpenter
so glorious to behold
A hundred ten bold sailor men, three times spun around our gallant ship, i m sure you are to blame
Til she sank to the bottom of the sea, my own true love
And it s all for the love of thee, she dressed herself in rich attire
she dressed herself in rich attire
and come away with thee
Farewell, cried she, and it s all for the love of thee, three weeks or maybe four
If i forsake my house carpenter, six ships are on the sea, three weeks or maybe four
Who i shall see no more, and she wept most bitterly, i have forsaken my house carpenter
and she would have married me
two weeks or maybe three
You could have married the king s daugher dear, twice around spun she
i am weeping for my sweet little babe
til she sank to the bottom of the sea
i ve just returned from the salt salt sea
tell me why are you weeping so
She dressed herself in rich attire, what have you got to maintain me upon The, they had not been at sea three weeks
Shall be at your command, do you weep for your golden store
And keep me from poverty?, and as she rode upon her horse, they had not out about two weeks
I could have married the king s daugher dear, on the banks of the salt salt sea, and it s all for the love of thee
