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