House Carpenter - Bob Dylan

This a story about a ghost come back from out of the sea
Come to take his bride away from the house carpenter

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 to 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 when I'm gone

And keep him good company"

Well they were sailing about two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
When the younger of the girls she came on deck
Saying she wants company

Well are you weeping for your house and home
Or are you weeping for your babies three

Well I'm not weeping for my house carpenter

I'm weeping 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
