[D]
[A] Oh true love, you [G] never [D] see with me
It's been three fourths [F] of a long long year
[D] Since together we have been
I can't come in, I can't come out, I can't sit down
For I haven't but a moment's time
Hear they say you are married [Gm] to a [Dm] house carpenter
And your heart will never [D] be mine
[G] [D]
And I [G] could marry [D]
king's daughter dear
And I'm sure she'd marry me
But I've [Dm] forsaken her crowns of gold
And [D] it's all for love of me
[E]
[D] Yeah, well you've forsaken [F] your house [D]
carpenters
[Dm]
Yeah, go along [D] with me
She'll out-tick you when the [Dm] grass grows green
On the [A] banks of the [A#m] deep [F] blue sea
On the [A] banks of [Fm] the deep blue [G] sea
[C] On the [A] banks of [G] the deep [Dm] blue sea
[D]
She picked up her [A] [Dm] little baby
[D]
Gave him kisses, [Gm] [D] gave him three
Stay right here [G] my darling [F] little babe
[E] Boy, keep your papa [Dm] company
[D] It
[Am] [D]
[F]
[Dm]
[D] ain't been no ship but about two weeks
[A] And I'm sure it was [F] a night for [D] three
And his true love began [Dm] to weep
Oh, [C] didn't she weep [A] most [G] bitterly?
[D] She said, are you weeping for my [E] silver or my gold?
[D]
Are you [Dm] weeping for my silver [F#m] or my [D] stole?
[G] Are you for your [E] house carpenter
[A] Whose face you'll [G] never [F] see no [E] more?
[A]
[D]
And I'm not, I'm not, I'm not weeping for your silver or your gold
No, I'm not, no, [G] I'm not [D] weeping for your stole
Oh [Dm] my darling little babe
[D] Whose face you'll never see no more
[Bm]
[D]
It ain't been no ship but [Dm] about three weeks
[D]
[F#] [D]
And I'm sure it was a night for four
Till he sprung a [E] leak in the bottom of [F] the ship
The sun can [Bm] never rise no [D]
more
[F] [G] The sun [B] can never [A]
rise no [G] [F] more
The sun can [Dm] never rise no [G] more
No, not [D] now
