Am             G                 Am
Well met, well met, my own true love
Am             G           Am
Well met, well met, cried he
Am            C        G            Em
Iʼve just returned from the salt, salt sea
Am          G       Am
All for the love of thee

Am                G           Am
Well I could have married the Kingʼs daughter, dear
Am             G       Am
She would have married me
Am            C       G            Em
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
Am          G       Am
All for the love of thee

Am                      G           Am
Well, if you could have married the Kingʼs daughter, dear
Am         G      Am
I know you are to blame
Am         C         G         Em
For I am married to a house carpenter
Am               G          Am
And I find him a nice young man

    Am                    G           Am
Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
Am        G       Am
And go along with me?
Am            C            G           Em
Iʼll take you to where the grass grows green
Am                  G          Am
To the banks of the salt, salt sea

Am                            G          Am
Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
Am        G       Am
And go along with thee
     Am       C         G       Em
What have you got to maintain me on
Am               G     Am
And keep me from poverty?

Am              G        Am
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Am           G       Am
Seven more upon dry land
Am              C       G            Em
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Am         G        Am
Will be at your command

   Am         G      Am
So she picked up her own wee babe
Am         G        Am
Kisses she gave him three
      Am        C          G              Em
Said, stay right here with my house carpenter
Am                G     Am
And keep him good company

      Am           G           Am
Well, they had not been gone about two weeks
  Am       G     Am
I know it wasnʼt three
     Am       C     G      Em
For our fair lady began to weep
    Am        G      Am
She wept most bitterly
    Am        G      Am
She wept most bitterly
    Am        G      Am
She wept most bitterly
