[00:01.193]
[00:15.920]Well met, well met, my own true love
[00:18.534]Well met, my love, by thee
[00:21.360]I've just arrived from the salt, salt sea
[00:23.774]And it's all for the love of thee
[00:26.601]Now I could have married a great king's daughter and have myself to blame
[00:31.576]And it's tons of gold I have refused and it's all for the love of you, my love
[00:36.989]All for the love of you.
[00:40.891]
[00:43.030]Well, if you could have married a great king's daughter you have yourself to blame
[00:48.398]Well, I have married my house-carpenter and I think he's a nice young man.
[00:53.821]Well, if you do leave you house-carpenter
[00:56.198]And come along with me,
[00:58.928]I'll take you to where the grass grows green on the banks of the Sweet Viledee, my love
[01:04.280]Banks of the Sweet Viledee.
[01:08.126]
[01:10.702]If I was to leave my house-carpenter
[01:13.050]And go along with thee
[01:15.855]What have you there to support me with
[01:18.342]And keep me from slavery?
[01:20.985]Well, I have six ships now sailing out
[01:23.257]And seven more on sea
[01:25.499]Three hundred and ten all jolly sailsmen
[01:28.656]All to wait on thee, my love
[01:31.174]All for to wait on thee
[01:33.819]
[01:44.200]She dressed her baby all neat and clean
[01:46.498]And gave him kisses three
[01:48.913]Saying, "Stay, stay here, my darling baby boy
[01:51.504]With you father for company"
[01:54.203]She dressed herself in a suit of red and her maiden waist was green
[01:59.125]And every town they passed by
[02:01.511]They took her to be some queen, my love
[02:04.264]Took her to be some queen
[02:07.306]
[02:45.954]They were not two days out at sea
[02:48.300]And I'm sure they were not three
[02:51.187]When this fair maid began to weep
[02:53.705]And she wept most bitterly
[02:56.192]My curse, my curse, and all sailsmen
[02:58.574]Who brought me out on sea
[03:01.305]And deprived me of my house-carpenter
[03:03.921]On the banks of the Sweet Viledee, my love
[03:06.709]Banks of the Sweet Viledee
[03:11.044]
[03:13.353]They were not three days out at sea
[03:15.520]And I'm sure they were not four
[03:20.188]When this fair maid disappeared from the deck
[03:24.095]And she sank to rise no more, my love
[03:28.547]Sank to rise no more
[03:37.968]
