It will never be mine"

Saying "Stay at home

Oh then he jumped on a big white steed
    Dm          C   Dm
And her on a dapple grey
         Dm           
And they rode until the
 C
 Banks of the sea

      Dm                     C  Dm
Three hours before the break of day

[Verse]

     Dm                 
They had not been on the 
C
Ship two weeks

    Dm          C   Dm
I'm sure it was not three
  Dm                      
Until his true love began 
   C
To weep and to mourn

    Dm             C  Dm
She cried oh so bitterly
 
[Verse]

"Oh is it for my silver you weep
Dm    C      Dm
Is it for my gold?
   Dm                
Or is it for the sake  
       C
Of the house carpenter

      Dm                
Whose face you'll never 
    C  Dm
See no more"

         Dm      C   
"Oh it's neither for 
     Dm
Your silver I weep

     Dm      C        Dm
It's neither for your gold
        Dm              
Oh it's all for the sake 
      C
Of my bonnie wee babe

      Dm             
Whose face I'll never 
    C  Dm
See no more"
 
[Verse]

   Dm                    
"A curse, a curse" to the 
 C
Sailor she cried

   Dm              C    Dm
"A curse, a curse" said she
        Dm           
"Oh you robbed me of 
   C
My house carpenter

      Dm                  C  Dm
Whose face I'll never see no more"

    Dm          C   Dm
I'm sure it was not four
      Dm                       
Until there sprang a leak in the
 C
 Bottom of the ship

       Dm               C  Dm
And it sunk for to rise no more
