[Verse 1]
"Well Dmmet, well met, my Cown true Dmlove
Well met, well met", said Fhe
"You've Dmgone away with aCnother, my love
And thus forDmsaken me"
[Verse 2]
"I do not cry for my Cbroken Dmheart
And nor for your broken Fvow
It's Dmfor your children who Cask after you
That I'm crying Dmnow"
[Chorus]
And FI am just a Chouse carpenter
It's Fall I wanna Cbe
But you Dmtook from me everyCthing that I had
And stole across the Dmsea
[Verse 3]
"But leave it to a CmessenDmger
To only bring bad Fnews
DmOn the fly, he Cbrought me to mine
None which I could Dmuse"
[Verse 4]
"Set sail, set sail", the Ccaptain Dmsaid
"I have what I've come Ffor"
He Dmgave to her the Cstrangest lands
She'd ever seen beDmfore
[Chorus]
And FI am just a Chouse carpenter
It's Fall I wanna Cbe
But you Dmtook from me everyCthing that I had
And stole across the Dmsea
[Verse 5]
I've heard sad stories Call my Dmlife
But none so sad as Fthis
A Dmmile from shore a Cstorm came forth
And stirred that black aDmbyss
[Verse 6]
The gallant ship spun Cone time aDmround
She prayed, "Forgive me, Fplease"
"Too Dmlate, too late", said the Cdevil's first mate
"Your soul belongs to the Dmseas"
[Chorus]
And FI am just a Chouse carpenter
It's Fall I wanna Cbe
But you Dmtook from me everyCthing that I had
And stole across the Dmsea
[Verse 7]
Now, I'm not a man of Cmany Dmwords
Or one of great diFscern
There are Dmmany lessons Cthat we are taught
And few that we will Dmlearn
[Verse 8]
What I can say, withCout reDmgret
To keep you safe from Fwrath
ConDmtent yourself with your Ccircumstance
Be happy with the life you Dmhave
