The House Carpenter- Ross (MO) 1927 Randolph F
[Single stanza from Vance Randolph's Ozark Folksongs, Vol. 1, 1946. This is an unusual variant in which the maid tells the carpenter she must leave him. It's a floating verse from another song attached to the ballad.

The House Carpenter- Sung by Mr. Ab Ross (Jane, MO) July 7, 1927. Randolph F
She went unto her house carpenter,
An' told him with a sigh;
The best and dearest friends must part,
An' why not you an' I.
