"The Daemon Lover", also known as "James Harris", "James Herries", or "The House Carpenter" (Roud 14, Child 243) is a popular ballad from Britain. It tells the story of a man (usually the Devil), who returns to a former lover after a very long absence, and finds her with a husband (usually a carpenter) and a baby. He entices her to leave both behind and come with him, luring her with many ships laden with treasure. Together they board one of his ships, (which in many versions she is surprised to find does not have a crew) and put to sea.

"But if I should leave my husband dear,
Likewise my little son also,
What have you to maintain me withal,
If I along with you should go?"
"I have seven ships upon the seas,
And one of them brought me to land,
And seventeen mariners to wait on thee,
For to be love at your command."
She soon begins to lament leaving behind her child, but is heartened by spying a bright hill in the distance. Her lover informs her that the hill is heaven, where they are not bound. Instead he indicates a much darker coast, which he tells her is hell, their destination. He then breaks the ship in half with his bare hands and feet, drowning them both. In other versions, the ship is wrecked by a storm at sea.

"O what a bright, bright hill is yon,
That shines so clear to see?"
"O it is the hill of heaven, " he said,
"Where you shall never be."
"O what a black, dark hill is yon,
"That looks so dark to me?"
"O it is the hill of hell," he said,
"Where you and I shall be."
A popular American version is called "The House Carpenter".

Shirley Jackson's collection The Lottery and other stories was originally intended to be titled The Adventures of James Harris; several of the stories include slightly sinister or mysterious men, not obviously the same man, with this name.

以下转自植芯草。我偷懒我偷懒|||。。。

The house Carpenter是一首脍炙人口的英国民歌，讲述了一个古老的故事，关于爱情，关于背叛，也关于命运的诅咒，从歌词中可以感受到那种凄美和诡异。歌词大意：两位曾经相爱过的昔日恋人又邂逅了，男人对女人说，本来我可以娶国王的女儿，只因为对你的爱，我舍弃了她的皇冠，现在离开你的木匠吧，跟我去乡间海边。女人留下了孩子离开了木匠，随着恋人而去。在海中的船上他们呆了不到三周时，女人想起孩子开始悲叹忧伤的哭泣与诅咒，女人说报应啊报应。不到第四周，船出现裂缝后沉了下去再也没有起来。

这首歌的中文叫《往事》,最早是刘文正翻唱过，后来孟庭苇也翻唱过，“如梦如烟的往事，洋溢着欢笑，那门前可爱的小河流，依然轻唱老歌···”相信大家还记得吧！

凯而特乐队Mick McAuley版本宁静忧伤

很多歌手演绎了这个故事，Mick McAuley唱得更安静，忧伤。听来有种痛彻心骨的难受，此歌被收录《Celtic Crossroads》专辑中。Mick McAuley，是备受赞誉的凯而特乐队Solas（爱尔兰五人乐队）成员，很擅长键纽手风琴、六角琴和键盘手风琴的。

Nickel creek演唱版本－清冷而悠远

Nickel Creek乐队成立于1989年,由吉他手 sean watkins、小提琴手 sara watkins 兄妹档与曼陀林乐手 chris thile组成.他们的音乐,朴实无华,却又注入了古典乐的细腻质感,底旋的琴音,悠扬的飘扬着优美的旋律。Nickel Creek以原音吉它唱作重新拾起民谣音乐怡然、恬静的风情，传媒纷纷为Nickel Creek乐团挂上『蓝调草根音乐的复古主义家』、『听觉革新者』、『草根音乐青春世代』的称号。

Natalie Merchant 的版本凄凉而诡异

Natalie Merchant曾经担任10000 Maniacs的主唱十年，于93年挥别乐团，迄今已发行6张专辑。她的音乐风格融合乡村、民谣、摇滚多种风格，清新抒情，嗓音悠扬浓郁。清新的民谣创作情怀里灌注较为浓郁的情感音质，有点蓝的情绪也变得豁然开朗，呈现出一种甜蜜淡雅的成熟性格。Natalie Merchant的声音，就像是圆舌头的鹦鹉在唱歌一般，十分有趣。

Joan Baez－清亮干净

Joan Baez低着头，轻轻地唱着《House Carpenter》，偏快的扫弦，带着薄愁的颤音。

在一次音乐会演唱的，她在那场演唱会上唱了很多民歌，后来被制作成两张唱片《in concern》part1和part2，里面的歌每一首都很经典。作为著名的民歌女皇，无论什么题材，她的嗓音永远是那么的清澈而高亢，听起来特别的舒服，后来齐豫翻过她的一些歌，略的一点神韵。这首歌不管你有没有听懂都没关系，听着她的声音，那种在如雨点般敲打的吉他声中静静流淌的声音，那就足够了。这个版本在网上已经很难找到了，这次我总算找到了，哈哈！分享一下Joan Baez的早期录音专辑的下载地址：

Bob Dylan演唱的版本－沙哑

一个年仅二十二岁的青年人，操着一副仿佛六十岁的沙哑喉咙，一把木吉他，口琴挂在脖子上，在1963年出版了一首歌，名字叫“在风中回响”（Blowing In Wind）。从此，他的名字也开始在全世界回响。

他迄今创作超过五百首歌曲，43个专集，销售额超过五千七百万套。无数乐坛名人翻唱过他的作品，听过后你会发现，所有人唱得似乎都比他本人的演绎好听。然而却有人认定他的嗓音具有惊人的表现力，曾专门向其求教朗诵技巧，此人就是当代美国着名诗人艾伦·金斯堡。

他在六十年代被人称为“出色的诗人、尖刻的社会评论家、反主流文化的勇敢旗手”。然而到了九十年代的今天，他所代表的文化，已然成为新的主流文化的一部分，他的歌词被编如入美国大学教材，美国总统卡特在竞选时把他的诗句当作格言来大量引用。

美国民谣之父Pete Seeger版本

美国民谣之父Pete Seeger(皮特．西格)的作品，基于传统民间音乐(包括民谣和布鲁斯)，配上有关政治题材的歌词，旨在唤起民众的情感与觉悟。在民谣被普遍化的阶段里，他依然矢志不渝地使用着原声吉他与班卓琴。确实，要配合他清澈、透亮的声线和时疾时缓、富有张力的演唱风格，复杂远不如简单更具表现力和感染力。在创作上，他反对制造权威，主张音乐的魅力在于富有个性色彩的诠释，这种虚怀若谷、从善如流的态度令后世的音乐家敬仰不已。最让人叹服的也许应该是Pete的现场表演，他总爱在歌曲中插入白口，准确地说是与听众的交谈——从街角的艳遇到童年的回忆。这样，演唱者与听众间就不再停留于单向的“施”与“受”的关系。Pete用他顽童般的调皮在人们心中留下了常青的记忆。

吉他大师Roger McGuinn的版本

一提起Roger McGuinn(被评为20世纪最伟大的100名吉他手)，人们马上就会联想到他的Rickenbacker12弦吉他。Roger McGuinn民谣摇滚乐队the Byrds的创立者，不仅是乐队的主唱，其演奏的12弦吉他更成为Byrds 音乐的注册商标。他在60年代的作品具有很强的生命力，从而在民谣运动中受人瞩目。McGuinn的12弦吉他通过压缩所发出的声音，是后来被很多乐手效仿的正宗的民谣摇滚的音色。
