The House Carpenter- Sung by Aunt Molly Jackson, of Kentucky, 1935.
Why do you weep my pretty lady?
Are you weeping for your gold and store
Are you weeping for your house carpenter,
That you never will see anymore?
I do not weep for my house carpenter
I do not weep for my store
I'm weeping for my sweet little baby,
That I never will see anymore.
