[Verse 1]
Am             G                 Am 
Well met, well met, my own true love
Am             Cadd9      Am
Well met, well met, cried he
Am            Cadd9        G         Em   
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
Am          G       Am  
All for the love of thee

[Verse 2]
Am                G           Am                   
Well I could have married the King's daughter, dear
Am             Cadd9   Am
She would have married me
Am            Cadd9      G         Em 
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
Am          G       Am  
All for the love of thee

[Verse 3]
Am                      G           Am                   
Well, if you could have married the King's daughter, dear
Am         Cadd9  Am   
I know you are to blame
Am         Cadd9       G         Em  
For I am married to a house carpenter
Am               G          Am 
And I find him a nice young man

[Verse 4]
    Am                    G           Am 
Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter
Am        Cadd9   Am 
And go along with me?
Am            Cadd9        G           Em   
I'll take you to where the grass grows green
Am                  G          Am 
To the banks of the salt, salt sea

[Verse 5]
Am                            G          Am 
Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter
Am        Cadd9   Am  
And go along with thee
     Am       Cadd9      G       Em
What have you got to maintain me on
Am               G     Am
And keep me from poverty?

[Verse 6]
Am              G        Am            
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea
Am           Cadd9  Am  
Seven more upon dry land
Am              Cadd9   G            Em 
One hundred and ten all brave sailor men
Am         G        Am 
Will be at your command

[Verse 7]
   Am         G      Am          
So she picked up her own wee babe
Am         Cadd9    Am   
Kisses she gave him three
      Am        Cadd9      G              Em 
Said, stay right here with my house carpenter
Am                G     Am
And keep him good company

[Outro]
      Am           G           Am           
Well, they had not been gone about two weeks
  Am       Cadd9  Am  
I know it wasn't three
     Am       Cadd9 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
