"Well met, well met," said an old true love
"Well met, well met," said he
"I have just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee"
"Come in, come in," said his old true love
"And have a seat by me
It's been three quarters of a long, long year
Since together we have been"
I can't come in and I can't sit down
For I've only a moment's time
They say you've married a house carpenter
So your heart will never be mine
I could have married the king's daughter fair
And she would have married me
But I have forsaken her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
So, will you forsaken your house carpenter
And go along with me?
I'll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
So she picked up her darling little babe
And kisses, she gave it three
Saying "Stay right here, you sweet little babe
And keep your papa company"
They hadn't been on ship two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
Till his true love began to weep and to mourn
And she wept most bitterly
Saying are you weepin' for my silver and my gold
Or are you weepin' for my store?
Or are you weepin' for that house carpenter
Whose face you'll never see no more?
I am not weepin' for your silver or your gold
I am not weepin' for your store, no
I am weepin' for my darlin' little babe
Whose face I'll never see no more
A curse, a curse to that sailor, she cried
A curse, a curse she swore
You've robbed me of my sweet little babe
Whose face I'll never see no more
What is, what is that mountain, my love?
All covered in death and snow?
Oh those, they are the gates of hell
Where you and I must go
They had not been on that ship three weeks
And I'm sure it was not four
Till his true love sprang a leak in that ship
And it sank them for to rise no more

I Punch Brothers sono un gruppo musicale di musica bluegrass proveniente da Brooklyn, New York. Composto da Chris Thile (mandolino), Gabe Witcher (violino), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Eldridge (chitarra) e Paul Kowert (contrabbasso), il quintetto è noto per il suo sound originale che fonde elementi di bluegrass tradizionale con influenze jazz, classica e progressive. Fondato nel 2006 da Thile, ex membro del gruppo Nickel Creek, i Punch Brothers hanno rapidamente guadagnato fama per le loro performance virtuosistiche e la complessità musicale. Il loro stile è spesso definito come "progressive bluegrass" o "da camera classico-country", con arrangiamenti intricati e improvvisazioni elaborate. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Rye Whiskey", "Familiarity" e "Julep", mentre tra gli album di maggior successo si annovera "The Phosphorescent Blues" (2012). I Punch Brothers hanno collaborato con artisti come Brad Paisley, Edgar Meyer e Yo-Yo Ma, consolidando la loro posizione come una delle band più innovative del panorama musicale contemporaneo.
