Blacksmith歌词

A blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
And if I was with my love
Id live forever.

But where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black Billycock on
Decked round with primroses
Im afraid the scorching sun
Will shine and burn his beauty
And if I was with my love
Id do my duty.

Strange news is coming to town
Strange news is carried
Strange mews flies up and down
That my love is married.
I wish them both much joy
Though they cant hear me
And may God reward him well
For the slighting of me.

Dont you remember when
You lay beside me
And you said youd marry me
And not deny me
If I said Id marry you
It was only for to try you
So bring your witness love
And Ill not deny you.

No witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he reward you well
For the slighting of me
Her lips grew pale and wan
It made a poor heart tremble
To think she loved a one
And be proved deceitful.

A blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
And if I was with my love
Id live forever.
