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