"This is a story about a ghost that came back
from out at sea, come to take his bride away
from the house carpenter..."
D C G Well met, well met, my own true love D C G D Well met, well met, cried she D C G I've just returned from the salt, salt sea D C G D And it's all for the love of thee D C G I could have married a King's daughter there D C G D She would have married me D C G But I have forsaken my King's daughter there D C G D It's all for the love of thee D C G Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there D C G D I'm sure you're the one to blame D C G For I am married to a house carpenter D C G D And I'm sure he's a fine young man D C G Forsake, forsake your house carpenter D C G D And come away with me D C G I'll take you to where the green grass grows D C G D On the shores of sunny Italy D C G So up she picked her babies three D C G D And gave them kisses, one, two, three D C G Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone D C G D And keep him good company." D C G Well, they were sailin' about two weeks D C G D I'm sure it was not three D C G When the younger of the girls, she came on deck D C G D Sayin' she wants company D C G "Well, are you weepin' for your house and home? D C G D Or are you weepin' for your babies three?" D C G "Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter D C G D I'm weepin' for my babies three." D C G Oh what are those hills yonder, my love D C G D They look as white as snow D C G Those are the hill of heaven, my love D C G D You and I'll never know D C G Oh what are those hills yonder, my love D C G D They look as dark as night D C G Those are the hills of hell-fire my love D C G D Where you and I will unite D C G Oh twice around went the gallant ship D C G D I'm sure it was not three D C G When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak D C G D And it drifted to the bottom of the sea
