A         G         C           A
Well met, well met, my own true love
A         G         C           E
Well met, well met, cried he
A         A         G           G
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

A         G         C           A
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?"
A         A         G           G
Or are you weeping for your house carpenter
C         E         A           A
Whose face you'll never see anymore?

Verse 7

A         G         C           A
"I am not weepin' for my house carpenter
A         G         C           E
Nor for any store
A         A         G           G
But I am weepin' for my own dear babe
C         E         A           A
Whose face I'll never see anymore."

Verse 8

A         G         C           A
What hills, what hillls are those, my dear
A         G         C           E
What hills so fair and high
A         A         G           G
Those are the hills of heaven, my dear
C         E         A           A
But not for you or I

Verse 9

A         G         C           A
What hills, what hills are those, my love
A         G         C           E
What hills so dark and low
A         A         G           G
Those are the hills of hell my dear
C         E         A           A
Where you and I must go

Verse 10

A         G         C           A
They had not been sailin' but about three days
A         G         C           E
I'm sure that it was not four
A         A         G           G
When the ship sprang a leak in the bottom of the deck
C         E         A           A
And she sank for to ride no more
