"Well met, well met" said an old true love "Well met, well met" said he "I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And all for the love of thee" "I could have married the King's daughter dear And she would have married me But I have forsaken her crowns of gold And it's all for the love of thee" "My, will you forsake your house carpenter And go along with me? I'll take you to where the grass grows green And the banks of its salt sea" She's picking up her little babe And kisses gave him three Saying "Stay right here my darling baby Keep your poppa company company" They had not been gone two weeks I'm sure it was not three When this fair lady began to weep and moan And she wept most bitterly Are you weeping for your silver and gold Are you weeping for your store? Or are you weeping for your house carpenter Whose face you'll never see no more "A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried "A curse, a curse," she swore "I'm weeping for my sweet little babe That I never shall see no more" They had not been on board three weeks I'm sure it was not four Until this boat sprang a leak and sank Never to rise no more
