Luyện nghe bài hát House Carpenter

(Traditional, Arr. Watkins / Alison Krauss)

"Well met, well met, an old true love.
"Well met, met, said he.
"I have just from the salt, salt sea.
"And it's all for the of thee."
Come in, come in, my own love,
And a seat by me.
It's been three-fourths of a long, year,
Since together, we been.

"I can't come in and I sit down,
"For I've a moment's time.
"They say you're to a house carpenter,
"And your heart will be mine.

"I could have married a daughter, fair,
"And she would married me,
"But I have forsaken her of gold,
"And it's all for the of thee."

"Now you your house carpenter,
"And go along me.
"I'll take you where the grass green.
"On the banks of the blue sea."

Then she up a darlin' little babe,
And kisses, she it three.
"Stay right here, my dalrin' little baby,
"And keep your company."

They had not been on the two weeks,
I'm it was not three,
his true love began to weep and to mourn,
And she wept bitterly.

Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my and my gold."
Sayin': "Are you for my store?
"Or are you weepin' for house carpenter,
"Whose face you'll see no more?"

"A curse, a to the sailor," she cried.
"A curse, a curse," she swore.
"You me of my darlin' little babe,
"That I never see no more."

They had not on the ship three weeks,
I'm it was not four,
there came a leak in the bottom of the ship,
And sank for to rise no more.
