about

Also known as James Harris, the Daemon Lover is an old British folk song adapted in the United States under the name, The House Carpenter.

lyrics

“Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met”, cried he
“I just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the sake of thee”

“Well I have married a house carpenter
I have two babies also
What have you to take me to
If with you I should go”

“Well I have two ships out on the sea
All weighed down with silver and gold
That's what I have to take you to
If with me you should go”

She then went to her two little babes
She kissed them on cheek and on chin
She told them that she loved them so
But would never see Sligo again

It was one night as they sailed
On the far side of the sea
In the dark she spied his cloven hoof
And wept most bitterly

Well they had not sailed much more than a week
I swear that it was not three
When altered grew his countenance
And a raging came over the sea

“Oh what is that mountain”, yon she cried
“So dreary with ice and with snow?”
“That is the mountain of hell”, he replied
“Where you and I will go”
