It is hard to see back to 1960, spinning this 33 1/3 and hearing Ms Baez sing to my heart. Now 60 years later I can still feel the thrill her voice wakes in me. We both have a gray hair or two and many a day watching the water run under the bridge but I will never give up how my life changed in those moments when I escaped what I could not understand and took refuge in "The Voice". Like so many others, I offered Joan a mixed bag of love tokens, never will they be enough but we give what we have. Bob Jarrard
lyrics "Well met, well met, my own true love, well met, well met," cried he "I've just returned from the salt, salt sea all for the love of thee." "I could have married the King's daughter dear, she would have married me But I have forsaken her crowns of gold all for the love of thee." "Well, if you could have married the King's daughter dear, I'm sure you are to blame For I am married to a house carpenter, and find him a nice young man." "Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter and go along with me? I'll take you to where the grass grows green, to the banks of the salt, salt sea.
This haunting song about betrayal, especially those last lines! I listened to dozens of versions of "The House Carpenter", but Joan's version is the most touching of all. Learned this song from Eleanor Tomlinson. Other beautiful versions are by Martha Tilston and Robert Wachsmann. Lyrics vary a bit. The temptation: "Oh will you forsake your house carpenter, and go along with me? I could have married a king's daughter, but I have forsaken her crown of gold, all for the love of thee" " Her challenge: "Well if I would forsake my house carpenter, and go along with thee, what have you got to maintain me on and keep me from poverty? His lies: "Six ships, six ships all out on sea, seven more upon dry land one hundred and 10 sailor man will be in your command" Her weakness: "She picked up her only babe, kisses gave him three - stay right here with my house carpenter, keep him good company" The honeymoon period: "And she putted on her rich attire, so glorious to behold" Her realisation that this is all wrong: "She became to weep most bitterly" "I weep for my only babe, which I'll never see no more" The tragic ending: "Three times around spung the ship, and sank to the bottom of the sea" "What hills, what hills are those my love, that rise so fair & high? Those are the hills of Heaven my love, but not for you & I.... " "And what hills, what hills are those my love, those hills so dark and wide? Those are the hills of Hell my love, where you and I must go.... "
I just to inform the fans of Lady Joan that she gave a recital for the teachers of English in Constantine (Algeria) in the late seventies. I've been told that they lived a great moment.
Shirley Jackson sent me here. seriously if you're reading this PLEASE read "the daemon lover" by her. it's inspired by this, and it gives me absolute chills
Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love I'm a-sailin' away in the morning Is there something I can send you from across the sea From the place that I'll be landing? No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin' Just to carry yourself back to me unspoiled From across that lonesome ocean Ah, but I just thought you might want something fine Made of silver or of golden Either from the mountains of Madrid Or from the Coast of Barcelona If I had the stars of the darkest night And the diamonds from the deepest ocean I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin' That I might be gone a long old time And it's only that I'm askin' "Is there something I can send you to remember me by?" To make your time more easy passin' Oh, how can, how can you ask me again? It only brings me sorrow The same thing I would want today I will want again tomorrow Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day It was from her ship a-sailin' Saying "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again It depends on how I'm a-feelin'" If you, my love, must think that-a-way I'm sure your mind is a-roamin' I'm sure your thoughts are not with me But with the country to where you're goin' So, take heed, take heed of the Western winds Take heed of the stormy weather And yes, there's something you can send back to me Spanish boots of Spanish leather
Thank you for uploading this on RUclips I had lost the original version and my long playing albums and I really love this folk song fond memories of the '60s
Story is that a woman acted immoral by leaving her husband and son to be with a rich sailor; when they drowned they were banished to hell for their deeds.
@@idnintel It’s harder to judge her when you know the whole story from the original ballad. She was engaged to the sailor first but married the carpenter in despair when news came of his death. The ballad has also been called the ‘Demon Lover’; Bob Dylan called it a song ‘about a ghost back from the dead’. www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/child/ch243.htm

This song is always so haunting and sad.
Again Joan Baez knocked me of my feet even when I listened to many of her songs
Such a beautiful song :,)
ty jack for bringing me here
I just to inform the fans of Lady Joan that she gave a recital for the teachers of English in Constantine (Algeria) in the late seventies. I've been told that they lived a great moment.
Thanks
My mom used to sing me Joan Baez songs and this was always one of my favorite. Thanks for posting. I really needed to hear it.
Bless Transference for bringing me here.
Shirley Jackson sent me here. seriously if you're reading this PLEASE read "the daemon lover" by her. it's inspired by this, and it gives me absolute chills
Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love
I'm a-sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just to carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Ah, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the Coast of Barcelona
If I had the stars of the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'
That I might be gone a long old time
And it's only that I'm askin'
"Is there something I can send you to remember me by?"
To make your time more easy passin'
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I will want again tomorrow
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'"
If you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is a-roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'
So, take heed, take heed of the Western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
Eres un angel.
