Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
Standard tuning, Capo on 6
Hard to translate banjo picking into guitar chords, but use these as a start
Play only the lower 4 strings to get the closest sound
Alternative would be Capo on 1 and play Dm and C
[Verse 1]
Am G
"Oh I met, well met, my one true love"
Am G Am
Oh I met, well met" said he
Am G
"I've just returned to the salt, salt sea
Am G Am
And it's all for the love of thee"
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
"I could have married the King's daughter fair
Am G Am
She would have married me
Am G
But now I forsakened a crown of gold
Am G Am
And it's all for the love of thee"

Am G
"Oh can he come in and can he sit down
Am G Am
I have but a moment's time
Am G
They say you're married to a house carpenter
Am G Am
And your heart, it will never be mine"
[Verse 4]
Am G
Oh she picked up her darling wee babe
Am G Am
And kisses she gave him three
Am G
Saying "Stay at home my darling wee babe
Am G Am
And keep your father company"
[Verse 5]
Am G
Oh then he jumped on a big white steed
Am G Am
And her on a dapple grey
Am G
And they rode until the banks of the sea
Am G Am
Three hours before the break of day

[Verse 6]
Am G
They had not been on the ship two weeks
Am G Am
I'm sure it was not three
Am G
Until his true love began to weep and to mourn
Am G Am
She cried oh so bitterly
[Verse 7]
Am G Am
"Oh is it for my silver you weep
Am G Am
Is it for my gold?
Am G
Or is it for the sake of the house carpenter
Am G Am
Whose face you'll never see no more"
[Verse 8]
Am G Am
"Oh it's neither for your silver I weep
Am G Am
It's neither for your gold
Am G
Oh it's all for the sake of my bonnie wee babe
Am G Am
Whose face I'll never see no more"
[Verse 9]
Am G
"A curse, a curse" to the sailor she cried
Am G Am
"A curse, a curse" said she
Am G
"Oh you robbed me of my house carpenter
Am G Am
Whose face I'll never see no more"

Am G
Oh they had not been on the ship for three weeks
Am G Am
I'm sure it was not four
Am G
Until there sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
Am G Am
And it sunk for to rise no more
[Outro]
