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