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