Devil Ship - Among The Oak

Well met well met my own true love
Well met well met said he
You've gone away with another my love
And thus forsaken me
I do not cry for my broken heart
And nor for your broken vow
It's for your children who ask after you
That I'm cryin now
And I am just a house carpenter
That's all that I wanna be
But you took from me everything that I had
And stole across the sea
But leave it to a messenger
To only bring bad news
On the fly he brought me to mine
None which I could use
Set sail set sail the captain said
I have what I've come for
He gave to her the strangest lands
She'd ever seen before
And I am just a house carpenter
That's all that I wanna be
But you took from me everything that I had
And stole across the sea
I've heard sad stories all my life
But none so sad as this
A mile from shore a storm came forth
And stirred that black abyss
The gallant ship spun one time around
She prayed forgive me please
Too late too late said the devil's first mate
Your soul belongs to the seas
And I am just a house carpenter
That's all that I wanna be
But you took from me everything that I had
And stole across the sea
Now I'm not a man of many words
Or one of great discern
There are many lessons that we are taught
And few that we will learn
What I can say without regret
To keep you safe from wrath
Content yourself with your circumstance
Be happy with the life you have
