"This is a story about a ghost that came back 
from out at sea, come to take his bride away  
from the house carpenter..." 

     D         C      G 
Well met, well met, my own true love 
     D         C    G     D 
Well met, well met, cried she 
     D                      C     G 
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea 
         D           C    G  D 
And it's all for the love of thee 


  D          C       G 
I could have married a King's daughter there 
    D          C   G   D 
She would have married me 
    D                         C    G 
But I have forsaken my King's daughter there 
         D       C    G  D 
It's all for the love of thee 


             D          C       G 
Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there 
         D          C   G  D 
I'm sure you're the one to blame 
    D                       C    G 
For I am married to a house carpenter 
             D      C    G     D 
And I'm sure he's a fine young man 


   D        C         G 
Forsake, forsake your house carpenter 
    D      C  G    D 
And come away with me 
     D                     C     G 
I'll take you to where the green grass grows 
       D         C     G  D 
On the shores of sunny Italy 


   D      C          G 
So up she picked her babies three 
         D       C         G    D 
And gave them kisses, one, two, three 
        D                      C           G 
Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone 
         D        C  G  D 
And keep him good company." 


       D        C             G 
Well, they were sailin' about two weeks 
         D  C   G   D 
I'm sure it was not three 
         D                     C        G 
When the younger of the girls, she came on deck 
       D         C  G D 
Sayin' she wants company 



       D       C                G 
"Well, are you weepin' for your house and home? 
           D       C        G      D 
Or are you weepin' for your babies three?" 
           D                  C        G 
"Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter 
       D           C G    D 
I'm weepin' for my babies three." 



        D         C             G 
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love 
     D       C     G  D 
They look as white as snow 
          D           C       G 
Those are the hill of heaven, my love 
        D    C  G   D 
You and I'll never  know 


        D         C             G 
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love 
     D       C     G   D 
They look as dark  as  night 
          D            C         G 
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love 
          D    C  G    D 
Where you and  I  will unite 


         D           C      G 
Oh twice around went the gallant ship 
    D       C   G   D 
I'm sure it was not three 
         D                     C         G 
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak 
       D       C      G         D 
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea
