Dm Am C Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm C Am
We’ve met, we’ve met, my old true love
C Dm
We’ve met, we’ve met, said he
Dm C Am
I’ve just returned from the salt, salt sea
C Dm
And it's all for the love of thee
Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm G Dm
I could have married the King’s daughter fair
Dm C G Dm
She would have married me
Dm C Am
But I’ve forsaken her crown of gold
C Dm
And it's all for the love of thee
C Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm C Am
Come in, come in, my old true love
C Dm
Come in, she said to him
Dm C Am
For it’s been three fourths of a long, long year
C Dm
Since together we have been
[Verse 4]
Dm G Dm
No, I can’t come in, nor I can’t sit down
Dm C G Dm
For I have but a moment’s time
Dm C Am
And they say that you’re married to a house carpenter
C Dm
And your heart will never be mine
C Dm
[Verse 5]
Dm C Am
Will you come with me, my old true love?
C Dm
Oh come with me, said he
Dm C Am
And I’ll take you to where the grass grows green
C Dm
On the banks of Bittery
Dm
[Verse 6]
Dm G Am
Then she picked up her sweet little babe
Dm C G Dm
And kisses she gave it three
Dm C Am
Sayin', stay at home my darlin’ little babe
C Dm
And keep your papa company
Dm C Dm
[Verse 7]
Dm C Am
Then he jumped on a milk white steppe
C Dm
And her on a dapple grey
Dm C Am
They rode until they came to the banks of a sea
C Dm
Three hours before the break of day
[Verse 8]
Dm G Am
They had not been on the ship two weeks
Dm C G Dm
I’m sure it was not three
Dm C Am
Until his true love began to weep and to mourn
C Dm
And she wept most bitterly
Dm C Dm
[Verse 9]
Dm C Am
Oh, is it for my silver you weep?
C Dm
Is it for my store?
Dm C Am
Or is it for that house carpenter
C Dm
Whose face you’ll never see no more?
[Verse 10]
Dm G Dm
It’s neither for you silver I weep
Dm C G Dm
And neither for your store
Dm C Am
But it’s all for the sake of my sweet little babe
C Dm
Whose face I’ll never see no more
Dm C Dm
[Verse 11]
Dm C Am
Then a curse, a curse to the sailor she cried
C Dm
A curse, a curse, she swore
Dm C Am
You’ve robbed me of my house carpenter
C Dm
Whose face I’ll never see no more
[Verse 12]
Dm G Am
They had not been on the ship three weeks
Dm C G Dm
I’m sure it was not four
Dm C Am
Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
C Dm
And it sunk for to rise no more
[Outro]
