_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ Well met, well met, and [F#m] I know true love.
Well [A] met, well met, [Bm] said he.
_ _ I'm just returning [F#m] from the salt, salt sea,
[A] And it's all for the love [Bm] of thee.
_ I [D] could have [Em] married [Bm] the king's daughter fair,
And [D] she would have [E] married [F#] _ [F#m] me.
[Bm] But I've forsaken [A] her crown [F#m] of gold,
And [A] it's all for the love [Bm] of thee. _ _ _ _ _
Come in, come in, [A] my own true [F#m] love.
[A] Come in, she said [D] to him.
_ [Bm] It's been three [A]-fourths of a long, [F#m] long year
[A] Since together we [Bm] have been.
_ I [D] can't come [F#m] in and I [Bm]
can't sit down,
For I [D] have but a [F#] moment's [F#m] time.
They [Bm] say you're married [A] to a house [F#m] carpenter,
[A] And your heart will never [Bm] be mine. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ Come _ [F#m] away with me, he said.
Come [Bm] away, said he.
_ I'll take you to where [A] the [G#m] grass [F#m] grows green,
On the banks of [Bm] Bitter _ Reef.
She picked [E] up her [Bm] sweet little babe,
And kisses [E] gave [F#m] him three.
_ _ [Bm] _ Stay at home, my [A] darling little babe,
And keep your papa _ [Bm]
company. _ _ _ _ _ _
And he jumped [F#m] on a milk-white steed,
And her on the dappled [Bm] grey. _
They rode till they [A] came to the banks of [F#m] the sea,
Three [A] hours before the break [Bm] of day. _ _
They had not been on the ship two weeks,
I'm sure it [F#m] was not three. _
[Bm] But his true [F#m] love began to weep and to mourn,
And she wept most [Bm] _ bitterly. _ _

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Are you weeping for [A] my silver and [F#m] my gold?
[D] Are you [A] weeping for [Bm] my store?
_ Or are you [F#m] weeping [C#m] for your house [F#m] carpenter,
Whose face you'll never see [Bm] no more?
_ It's neither for your silver I weep,
And neither for [F#m] your store.
_ [Bm] It's all for the sake [F#m] of my darn little babe,
Whose face I'll never see [Bm] no more. _ _ _ _ _
A curse, a curse [F#m] on the sailor she cried,
A curse, a curse [Bm] she swore. _
You've robbed me [A] of my house carpenter,
Whose face I'll never see [Bm] no more. _
They [D] had [F#m] not [Bm] been on the ship three weeks,
I'm sure it [F#m] was not four.
[Bm] When they sprang a [A] leak in [E] the bottom of the [F#m] ship,
And they sunk for to [D] rise no more. _ _

_ Well, man, well, [A] man, and I know true love,
Well, man, well, man, [Bm] said he,
_ I'm just [A] returning from the salt-soaked sea,
And it's all for the love [D] of me.
