Well met well met my own true love Well met well met cried he I've just returned from the salt salt sea All for the love of thee I could have married a kings daughter there She would have married me But I have forsaken my kings daughter there All for the love of thee Well if you could have married a kings daughter there I'm sure you're the one to blame For I am married to a house carpenter And find him a fine young man Will you forsake your house carpenter And come away with me I'll take you where the grass grows green On the banks of the salt salt sea Well if I should forsake my house carpenter And go away with thee What have you to maintain my own Keep me from poverty Six ships six ships all out on sea Seven more upon dry land One hundred and ten brave sailor men To be at your command Well she picked up her own wee babe Gave him kisses three Saying take good care of my house carpenter Keep him good company Well they'd not been gone but about two weeks I'm sure it was not three When this fair lady began to weep She wept most bitterly Why do you weep my fair young maid Weep for your golden store I do weep for my own wee babe Never I shall see no more Well they'd not been gone but about three weeks I'm sure it was not four Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank Never to rise no more One time around spun our gallant ship Two times around spun she Three times around spun our gallant ship And sank to the bottom of the sea What hills what hills are those my love That rise so fair and high Those are the hills of heaven my love But not for you or I What hills what hills are those my love They look as dark as night Those are the hills of hellfire my love Where you and I shall unite
