[Verse 1]
Well met, well met, said an old true love
Well met, well met, said he
I have just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
[Verse 2]
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat by me
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
[Verse 3]
I can't come in and I can't sit down
For I've only a moment's time
They say you're married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
[Verse 4]
I could've married the king's daughter fair
And she would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
[Verse 5]
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me
I'll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
Well met, well met, said an old true love
Well met, well met, said he
I have just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
[Verse 2]
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat by me
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
[Verse 3]
I can't come in and I can't sit down
For I've only a moment's time
They say you're married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
[Verse 4]
I could've married the king's daughter fair
And she would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
[Verse 5]
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And go along with me
I'll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
