[C] [Cm]
[G] Well I once could have married [Bb] the king's third son,
[D]
[Gm] [D] But
[Gm] now I'm married to a carpenter and a nice young [Gm] man,
And I'm a little bit sad I see.
[Ab]
[Eb]
Would you [C] forsake your house, carpenter,
[G] And go along [Cm] with her?
I will take you to where the grass grows green
On the banks of the river.
[Eb]
[Eb] [G]
But would you have to maintain [C] me a bond
To keep me from sea [C] or wind?
I have seven ships, they will soon be at land,
And they are the ark of my child B.
[Cm] She [C]
[G] took her two bakes [C] by [Cm] the hand,
And kisses gave them [C] sweet,
[G]
Sister, I do you [Fm] darling [Cm]
little babes
Keep your father's sweet company.
She [D] [C]
dressed herself in her very best,
Like a hard lady was she.
She shimmered and she proudly stepped
[G] As they walked by the lines of sea.
They hadn't been gone but a short, short time
Until she wept for us all.
They'd give all the gold and the silver too,
Just to see my babes once more.
They'd give all the gold and the silver [C] too,
[G] Whatever they'd cross the sea.
You never would be at land anymore,
To buy what you would never want to.
They hadn't been sailing but a short, short time
About two weeks we were far,
One ship sprang on the other, and they were gone,
And they were far away from [C] shore.
I see [Ab] bright hills of [Bb]
heaven, my dear,
Where angels come and go.
I see bright hills that tell, my dear,
Where you [B] and I must go.
[G] [Cm] [G]
[C] I [G] wish I was [C] back to my house, Garvinder,
I'm sure he would treat [Fm] me well.
[G] For here I am in the raging sea,
And my soul is bound for hell.
