[00:00.00] 作曲 : Unknown [00:01.37]The House Carpenter [00:10.59]"Well met, well met, my own true love, [00:15.54]well met, well met," cried he. [00:19.49]"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea [00:26.54]all for the love of thee." [00:32.49]"I could have married the King's daughter dear, [00:37.74]she would have married me. [00:41.84]But I have forsaken her crowns of gold [00:48.34]all for the love of thee." [00:52.99]"Well, if you could have married the King's daughter dear, I'm sure you are to blame, [01:00.64]For I am married to a house carpenter, [01:06.14]and find him a nice young man." [01:10.79]"Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter [01:17.39]and go along with me? [01:20.94]I'll take you to where the grass grows green, [01:27.49]to the banks of the salt, salt sea." [01:36.64]"Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter [01:43.14]and go along with thee, [01:46.84]What have you got to maintain me on [01:53.64]and keep me from poverty?" [01:57.94]"Six ships, six ships all out on the sea, [02:04.99]seven more upon dry land, [02:09.19]One hundred and ten all brave sailor men [02:16.29]will be at your command." [02:22.59]She picked up her own wee babe, [02:27.84]kisses gave him three, [02:31.94]Said "Stay right here with my house carpenter [02:38.89]and keep him good company. [02:42.59]Then she putted on her rich attire, [02:48.99]so glorious to behold. [02:52.84]And as she trod along her way, [02:59.29]she shown like the glittering gold. [03:03.99]Well, they'd not been gone but about two weeks, [03:10.29]I know it was not three. [03:14.34]When this fair lady began to weep, [03:20.94]she wept most bitterly. [03:25.44]"Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid, [03:31.69]weep it for your golden store? [03:35.89]Or do you weep for your house carpenter [03:42.54]who never you shall see anymore?" [03:46.99]"I do not weep for my house carpenter [03:53.39]or for any golden store. [03:57.39]I do weep for my own wee babe, [04:04.14]who never I shall see anymore." [04:08.89]Well, they'd not been gone but about three weeks, [04:15.54]I'm sure it was not four. [04:19.49]Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank, [04:26.54]never to rise anymore. [04:30.94]One time around spun our gallant ship, [04:36.44]two times around spun she, [04:40.89]Three times around spun our gallant ship [04:47.34]and sank to the bottom of the sea. [04:52.69]"What hills, what hills are those, my love, [04:58.74]that rise so fair and high?" [05:03.14]"Those are the hills of heaven, my love, [05:09.54]but not for you and I." [05:13.99]"And what hills, what hills are those, my love, [05:20.54]those hills so dark and low?" [05:24.49]"Those are the hills of hell, my love, [05:31.04]where you and I must go."
