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