Lyrics (for me): “This a story about a ghost come back from out of the sea Come to take his bride away from the house carpenter Well met, well met, my own true love Well met, well met, cried she I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And it's all for the love of thee I could have married a king's daughter there She would have married me But I have forsaken my king's daughter there It's all for the love of thee Well, if you could have married a king's daughter there I'm sure you're the one to blame For I am married to a house carpenter And I'm sure he's a fine young man Forsake, forsake your house carpenter And come away with me I'll take you where the green grass grows On the shores of sunny Italy So up she picked her babies three And gave them kisses, one, two, three Saying, "Take good care of your daddy when I'm gone And keep him good company" Well, they were sailin' about two weeks I'm sure it was not three When the younger of the girls, she came on deck Sayin' she wants company Well, are you weepin' for your house and home? Or are you weepin' for your babies three? Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter I'm weepin' for my babies three Oh what are those hills yonder, my love They look as white as snow Those are the hill of heaven, my love You and I'll never know Oh what are those hills yonder, my love They look as dark as night Those are the hills of hell fire my love Where you and I will unite Oh twice around went the gallant ship I'm sure it was not three When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak And it drifted to the bottom of the sea.”
AT LAST lol!!! I remember I couldn't find this song anywhere, and had to do with a (decent) cover from some other bloke for yearssss lol!! FINALLY!! This is by far one of my Dylan's favorites, brilliant!!!
Had heard a little of his work on the radio, just searched him on youtube and what a reward. I'm looking forward to it! Hope at least some of the rest of the tracks hold up to this one.
Anyone who likes Bob Dylan would not give this a thumbs down. Just don't click on it next time, and keep your bitterness to yourself. I never heard this before. Classic Dylan. 👍
@@ursaminorjim Yes it is. He made a few insignificant changes in lyrics and skipped the verse "If I should leave my house carpenter and go along with thee, What have you got to maintain me on and keep me good company? Six ships, six ships all out on the sea, seven more upon dry land. One hundred and ten, all brave sailor men, will be at your command."

A BRILLIANT TRACK BY BOB DYLAN 👏 👌👍👍
So far ahead of his time it’s unbelievable. Forever the greatest singer songwriter of all time. God bless Dylan
Lyrics (for me):
“This a story about a ghost come back from out of the sea
Come to take his bride away from the house carpenter
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried she
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
I could have married a king's daughter there
She would have married me
But I have forsaken my king's daughter there
It's all for the love of thee
Well, if you could have married a king's daughter there
I'm sure you're the one to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And I'm sure he's a fine young man
Forsake, forsake your house carpenter
And come away with me
I'll take you where the green grass grows
On the shores of sunny Italy
So up she picked her babies three
And gave them kisses, one, two, three
Saying, "Take good care of your daddy when I'm gone
And keep him good company"
Well, they were sailin' about two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
When the younger of the girls, she came on deck
Sayin' she wants company
Well, are you weepin' for your house and home?
Or are you weepin' for your babies three?
Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter
I'm weepin' for my babies three
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as white as snow
Those are the hill of heaven, my love
You and I'll never know
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as dark as night
Those are the hills of hell fire my love
Where you and I will unite
Oh twice around went the gallant ship
I'm sure it was not three
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea.”
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried she
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
I could have married a King's daughter there
She would have married me
But I have forsaken my King's daughter there
It's all for the love of thee
Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there
I'm sure you're the one to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And I'm sure he's a fine young man
Forsake, forsake your house carpenter
And come away with me
I'll take you where the green grass grows
On the shores of sunny Italy
So up she picked her babies three
And gave them kisses, one, two, three
Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone
And keep him good company."
Well, they were sailin' about two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
When the younger of the girls, she came on deck
Sayin' she wants company
"Well, are you weepin' for your house and home?
Or are you weepin' for your babies three?"
"Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter
I'm weepin' for my babies three."
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as white as snow
Those are the hill of heaven, my love
You and I'll never know
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as dark as night
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love
Where you and I will unite
Oh twice around went the gallant ship
I'm sure it was not three
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea

Awesome. Never heard the early, early Dylan stuff before. Great guitar picking.... Sounds like it was done in Drop-D.
Love me my Dylan...😎🌴♥️
Bob Dylan's lyrical brilliance was evident at this early period. Amazing track. Cheers!
It’s actually an old Scottish ballad! 😉
@@ursaminorjim It is? I didn't know that, until now. Cheers! ✌️
@@ursaminorjim Yes it is. He made a few insignificant changes in lyrics and skipped the verse
"If I should leave my house carpenter and go along with thee,
What have you got to maintain me on and keep me good company?
Six ships, six ships all out on the sea, seven more upon dry land.
One hundred and ten, all brave sailor men, will be at your command."
I only know those verses from the Baez version. Just curious, do you know any earlier or contemporary examples?

❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it! Sweet guitar. Who in Lord's name is pickin' like that?
Muito bom
Dilan para sempre
Toda exageración sobre el efecto de este tipo de canciones del primer Dylan es... necesaria.
❤️🇳🇵
El millor i únic /The best one
Got tabacco William Blake?
The German ‘Zimmerman’ in English = ?
Why the date of birth is wrong? Everybody knows he was born on May 24th, not 11..dont understand such a mistake on a document like that
Esta. Cacion no. Es esta. Modificada. No. Me. Gusta
He isn’t called the master for nothing. Do some research and be amazed.
The doc Watson version better …
This is awful.
it seems kind of soulless if you compare it to doc watsons version
