Forsaken House Carpenter
If you will forsake your house Carpenter.
And go away with me.
Ill take youn whewr the grass grows green.
On the banks of the sweet Enoree.
Or who will shoe my babys feet.
Who will glove its feet.
Or who will kiss its sweet little lips
When you are in a far off land.
She went away and dressed herself.
Most beautiful to behold.
And she rode through the town.
And shined like reverand gold.
She hadent been gone but about tow days.
Im sure it was not three.
Till she began to weep she wept and moaned.
She wept most bitterly.
Oh is it for my gold xforx you weep xerx
Or is it for my store.
Or is it for your your House Carpenter.
Whose face I'll see no more?
Its xisx not for your gold I weep.
Nor neither for your store.
But it is for my sweet little babe.
Whose faceIll see no more.
She hadent been gone but about three days.
Im surw it was not foure.
Till she sprang from the ship into the deep blue sea.
And sank for to rise no more.

The House Carpenter.
Well met,well met,my old true love .
Well met,he cried
For I’m just returning from the salt,salt sea,A
And it’s all for the love of thee.
Oh, I could have married a King’s daughter ,dear,
And she would have married me,
But I refused a crown of gold,
And it’s all for the love of thee.
If you could have married a king’s Dayghter,dear,
I think you are to blame,
For I have lately been married to a House arpenter,
And I think he’s a fine young man.
Oh,wont you leave your House Carpenter,
And go along with me?
I’ll take you where the grass grows green,
On the banks of Sweet willowrie.
If I should leave my house carpenter and go along with you
And go along with you,
Pray what have you to maintain me on,
And keep me from slavery?
I have seven ships all sailing on the sea,
All sailing for dry land,
One hundred and ten bold brave looking men,
You may have them at your command.
She went and dressed in her finest array,
And slowly turned away,
For she outshined the gliyyering gold,
Most beautiful to behold.
8
She went and kissed her sweet little babe,
She kissed it,she gave it three.
Saying you stay here you dear darling little babe,
And keep your Papa company.
9
They hadn’t been on ship two weeks or more,
I’m sure it was not three,
Until this lady was known to weep,
And she wept most bitterly.
10
Oh,is it for my gold you weep,
Or is it for my store,
Or is it for that house carpenter,
You never shall see any more?
11
It is not for your gold I weep,
Neither is it for your store,
But it’s for my dear darling little babe,
I never shall see any more.
12
A curse, a curse to all seamen,
A curse to you she cried,
You have robbed me of my house carpenter,
An here I shall lose my life.
13
They hadn’t been on ship three weeks or more,
I’m sure it was not four,
Until that ship did spring a leak,
And it sank to rise no more.
14
O don’t you see them dark clouds rise
As black as any crow?
They’re the walls of Hell, They’re
the walls of Hell
and o’er them we must go!
