     G
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 sake of thee

VERSE 2
  G
I could have married a King's daughter there
    G          G7      G
She would have married me
     G        G7         G
Then I have refused that crown of gold 
         G
And it's all for the sake of thee


VERSE 3
       G
If you could have married a King's daughter there
    G
I'm sure you are to blame
    G    G7           G
For I am married to a house carpenter
    G                 [G]
And he is a fine young man

VERSE 4
   G      G7       G
If you forsake your house carpenter
    G    G7       G
And fly away with me
     G
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
       D         C     G  D
On the banks of sweet Willie [?]


VERSE 5
   G
If I forsake my house carpenter
    G    G7       G
And fly away with thee
G             G7         G
What have you got to maintain me upon
    G
And keep me from slavery


VERSE 6
     G         G7      G
I've six ships sailing on the salt sea
G       G7       G
Sailing from dry land
      G           G7     G
And a hundred and twenty jolly young men
      G     G7     G
Shall be at your command

VERSE 7
    G      G7     G
She picked up her poor little babe
    G
Her kisses were one, two, three
    G      G7    G
And as she trod upon her way
    G            G7         G
And shone like a glittering tree


VERSE 8
     G       G7      G
They had not been at sea two weeks
    G       G7      G
I'm sure it was not three
G 
When this poor maid began to cry
        G         G7    G
And she wept most bitterly

VERSE 9
   G      G7            G
Oh do you weep for your gold, he said
     G            G7           G
Your houses, your land or your store?
   G      G7            G
Or do you weep for your house carpenter
    G                G7     G
The one you?ll never see anymore
    G                G7     G
The one you?ll never see anymore


VERSE 10
  G      G7          G
I do not weep for my gold, she said
   G          G7         G
My houses, my land or my store
      G  G7          G
But I do weep for my poor little babe
     G
That I never shall see anymore

VERSE 11
  G      G7          G
They had not been at sea three weeks
    G       G7      G
I'm sure it was not four
   G          G7         G
When in their ship there sprang a great leak
        G          
And she sank to rise no more
        G       G7      G
No, she sank to rise no more


VERSE 12
    G        G7       G
Farewell farewell, my own true love
    G        G7          G
Farewell farewell, cried she
  G            G7        G
I could have deserted my house carpenter
    G
And grave them [?] in the depths of the sea
      G            G7            G
For a grave in the depths of the sea.

I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
