Lyrics
A blacksmith courted me nine months and better
He fairly won my heart, he wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever
And if I were with my love I would live forever
Where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses
With his good black billycock on decked with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun will shine and burn his beauty
And if I were with my love, I would do my duty
Strange news has come to town, strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
I wish them both much joy though they don't hear me
And may God reward them well for the slighting of me
What did you promise me when you laid beside me
You said you'd marry me and not deny me
If I said I'd marry you it was only for to try you
So, bring your witness love and I'll not deny you
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 her heart tremble
For to think she had loved one and he proved deceitful
A blacksmith courted me nine months and better
He fairly won my heart, he wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever
And if I were with my love I would live forever
