[Verse 1]
A G C A
Well met, well met, my own true love
A G C E
Well met, well met, cried he

I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
C E A A
And it's all for the sake of thee
A G C A
I could have married a King's daughter there
A G C E
So freely she was with me
A A G G
But I have forsaken a crown of gold
C E A A
It's all for the sake of thee
[Verse 2]
A G C A
If you could have married a King's daughter there
A G C E
I'm sure you are to blame
A A G G
For I've recently wedded a house carpenter
C E A A
And I think he's a fine young man
[Verse 3]

Will you forsake your house carpenter
A G C E
And come and go along with me
A A G G
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
C E A A
On the banks of sweet Italy
[Verse 4]
A G C A
Well she picked up her dear little babe
A G C E
Kisses she gave him three
A A G G
Saying "stay at home my dearest babe
C E A A
And keep your daddy company."
[Verse 5]
A G C A
They had not been sailin' but about two days
A G C E
I'm sure it was not three
A A G G
When this fair lady began to weep
C E A A
And she wept most bitterly
[Verse 6]
A G C A
"Why are you weepin' my dearest dear?
A G C E
Are you weepin' for my golden store?"
