Here we go.
Come in, come in my old true love
And have a seat with me
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
No, I can't come in
No, I can't come in or can't sit down
For having but a moment's time
They say you are made to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
Now it's I who'll marry the king's daughter
Dear
I'm sure she'd have married me
But I've forsaken her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me
I'll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
She picked up her little baby
And came home to me
And came home to me





And the princess gave it three
And stay right here, my darling little babe
And keep your papa company
Well, they had been on ship for about two weeks
I'm sure it won't be long

So go on home and get ready
Then it's not three
Then it's true love began to weep and mourn
And cry most bitterly
Says, are you weeping for my silver or my gold?
Says, are you weeping for my silver or my gold?

Or are you weepin' for your house carpenter
Whose face you'll never see anymore
No, it's I that weep for silver or your gold
Or either for your store
I am weepin' for my darling little babe
Whose face I'll never see anymore
Well, they had been on ship, but about we weep
I'm sure it was not far
Till it sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
And it sank to rise no more
Oh, and Ralph Carney
