[01:39.69]For ive only a moments time
[01:45.20]They say youre married to a house carpenter
[01:50.10]And your heart will never be mine
[01:56.33]I couldve married the kings daughter fair

[04:16.77]Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?
[04:22.66]Saying are you weeping for my store?
[04:29.10]Or are you weeping, for your house carpenter
[04:34.70]Whose face youll never see no more?
[04:40.82]A curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried
[04:45.83]A curse, a curse, she swore
[04:52.49]You robbed me of the darling little babe
[04:58.40]That i shall never see no more
[05:03.38]
[05:04.35]They had not been on the ship three weeks
[05:09.86]Im sure it was not four
[05:16.01]When there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship
[05:22.16]And sank them for to rise no more

Nickel Creek - House Carpenter

Well met, well met, said an old true love
Well met, well met, said he
I just returned from the salt, salt sea
And its all for the love of thee
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat by me
Its been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
I cant come in and i can't sit down
For ive only a moments time
They say youre married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
I couldve married the kings daughter fair
And she wouldve married me
But i have forsaken her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And come along with me
I'll take you where, the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
Then she picked up her darling little babe
And kisses she gave it three
Saying stay right here you darling little babe
And keep your pop company
They had not been on the ship two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
Til this true love began to weep and to mourn
And she wept most bitterly
Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?
Saying are you weeping for my store?
Or are you weeping, for your house carpenter
Whose face youll never see no more?
A curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried
A curse, a curse, she swore
You robbed me of the darling little babe
That i shall never see no more
They had not been on the ship three weeks
Im sure it was not four
When there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship
And sank them for to rise no more
