The House Carpenter Song (The Daemon Lover) (Live 1964)

Now just let me remeber the lyrics

Well met, well met, my own true love
"Well met, well met", cried she
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
From the banks where the grass grows green

I could have married a king's daughter dear
She would have married me
But I did forsake her crown and jewels
All for the love of thee

Well, if you could have married a king's daughter dear
I'm sure you are to blame
For I am wed to a house carpenter
And find him a nice young man

Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter?
And come away with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
On the banks of the salt, salt sea

Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
And come away with thee
What have you got to maintain me on?
And keep me from poverty?

Six ships, six ships all on the sea
Seven more upon dry land
110 all brave sailor men
All at thy command

Well, she picked up her own wee babe
Kisses gave her three
Sayin', "Stay right here with my house carpenter"
"Keep him good company"

Well, they'd not been gone but about three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
When their gallant ship sprung a leak and sank
Never to be seen no more

What hills, what hills are those, my love?
That rise so fair and high?
They are the hills of Heaven, my love
But not for you and I

What hills, what hills are those, my love?
That lie so dark and low?
They are the hills of Hell, my love
Where you and I must go

Not for you and I

What hills, what hills are those, my love?
That lie so dark and low?
They are the hills of Hell, my love
Where you and I must go
