Paroles de la chanson House Carpenter par Chris Cohen

We've met, we’ve met my old true love
We've met, we've met said he
I’ve just returned from the salt salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee

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, I can't sit down
I have but a moment's time
They say you are married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine

I could have married the King's daughter fair

And she would have married me
But I've forsaken her crown of gold
And it’s all for the love of thee

Will you forsake your house carpenter
And come along with me
I’ll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of Ittery

Then she picked up her darling little babe
And kisses she gave it thee
Saying stay right here my darling little babe
And keep your papa company

They had not been on the ship two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
Till his true love began to weep and mourn
And she wept most bitterly

Oh is it for your silver you weep
Oh is it for your store
Or is it for that house carpenter
Whose face you’ll never see anymore?

A curse, a curse to the sailor she cried
A curse, a curse she swore
You've robbed me of my sweet little babe
Whose face I'll never see any more
They had not been on the ship three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
And it sunk for to rise no more
