[Verse 1]
"Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met," said he
"I've come from far across the sea
And it's all for the sake of thee
[Verse 2]
"I could have married a king's daughter fair
And she would've married me
But I have forsaken the crowns of gold
And it's all for the sake of thee"
[Verse 3]
"If you could've married a king's daughter fair
I'm sure I'm not to blame
For I have married me a house carpenter
And I'm sure he's a finе young man"
[Verse 4]
"Oh, will you leave your house carpеnter
And sail away with me?
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
Down in sweet Italy"
[Verse 5]
"Oh, if I leave my house carpenter
And sail away with ye
What will ye have to maintain me upon
When we are far away?"
