House Carpenter Lyrics - Bob Dylan

Well met, well met, my own true love 

Well met, well met, cried she 

I've just returned from the salt, salt sea 

And it's all for the love of thee 

 

I could have married a King's daughter there 

She would have married me 

But I have forsaken my King's daughter there 

It's all for the love of thee 

 

Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there 

I'm sure you're the one to blame 

For I am married to a house carpenter 

And I'm sure he's a fine young man 

 

Forsake, forsake your house carpenter 

And come away with me 

I'll take you where the green grass grows 

On the shores of sunny Italy

So up she picked her babies three 

And gave them kisses, one, two, three 

Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone 

And keep him good company." 

 

Well, they were sailin' about two weeks 

I'm sure it was not three 

When the younger of the girls, she came on deck 

Sayin' she wants company 

 

"Well, are you weepin' for your house and home? 

Or are you weepin' for your babies three?" 

"Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter 

I'm weepin' for my babies three." 

 

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love 

They look as white as snow 

Those are the hill of heaven, my love 

You and I'll never know

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love 

They look as dark as night 

Those are the hills of hell-fire my love 

Where you and I will unite 

 

Oh twice around went the gallant ship 

I'm sure it was not three 

When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak 

And it drifted to the bottom of the sea
