Love and Greetings from a mountain top in Virginia. Just found you on UA-cam and Happy I am !!!! What a WONDERFUL arrangement. Love having the young man singing also ! Beautiful voices .
This HC version is SUPERB, probably my favorite ever, it would melt a heart of granite. You guys are awesome. Like the voices, harmonies, and instrumental lines. Both thumbs up, A+++ is the mark I would give you. Please post more and come to Ireland! All the best
omg, one of the best versions out there! Long live folk! :) Damn, now i whish i could pick that fast and sing so dedicated at the same time... btw, if anyone is here to learn the song: / Am G Am Am / Am G Am Am / Am C G Em / Am G Am Am / Enjoy this wonderful traditional song! Love and music to everyone.
What an excellent performance! I stumbled on this video after catching a glimpse of my hero Todd Rundgren performing the song live at BB King's. Gabrielle & David your version is fantastic. I thought I was back in an old English folk club. Long may you run!!!
Well than let me say as a quite young "fart" as you call it, that this version of "The House Carpenter" is one of the most magnificent pieces of music I've ever had thel pleasure to listen to. Gabrielle Louise is a beautyful woman and she charms me with her voice and David Rynhart fits perfectly to her and this song.... Well I'm ondering wether it would be wise to post this video to a radio station because it's just to good to stay unfamouse (I'm sorry for my English It's just too bad)
"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." "Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter and go along with thee, What have you got to maintain me on and keep me from poverty?" "Six ships, six ships all out on the sea, seven more upon dry land, One hundred and ten all brave sailor men will be at your command." She picked up her own wee babe, kisses gave him three, Said "Stay right here with my house carpenter and keep him good company. Then she putted on her rich attire, so glorious to behold. And as she trod along her way, she shown like the glittering gold. Well, they'd not been gone but about two weeks, I know it was not three. When this fair lady began to weep, she wept most bitterly. "Ah, why do you weep, my fair young maid, weep it for your golden store? Or do you weep for your house carpenter who never you shall see anymore?" "I do not weep for my house carpenter or for any golden store. I do weep for my own wee babe, who never I shall see anymore." Well, they'd not been gone but about three weeks, I'm sure it was not four. Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank, never to rise anymore. One time around spun our gallant ship, two times around spun she, Three times around spun our gallant ship and sank to the bottom of the sea. "What hills, what hills are those, my love, that rise so fair and high?" "Those are the hills of heaven, my love, but not for you and I." "And what hills, what hills are those, my love, those hills so dark and low?" "Those are the hills of hell, my love, where you and I must go."

Absolutely lovely. As a long time folk musician, I think this is beautiful.

"Well met, well met, my own true love,
well met, well met," cried he.
"I've just returned from the salt, salt sea

"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."
"Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter

What have you got to maintain me on
and keep me from poverty?"
