The Blacksmith
A blacksmith courted me
Nine months or better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked, he looked so clever
And if I were with my love
I would live forever
Oh where has my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
He has gone across the sea
Gathering primroses
I'm afraid the shining sun
Might burn and scorch his beauty
And if I was with my love
I would do my duty
Strange news is come to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news cried up and down
That my love is married
I wish them both much joy
Though they can't hear me
And if I was with my love
I would do my duty
What did you promise me
When you lay 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
No, witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he reward you well
For the slighting of me
Her cheeks grew pale and wan
And her lips, her lips did tremble
For to think she had but one love
And he proved deceitful
For to think she had but one love
And he proved deceitful
Nine months or better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked, he looked so clever
And if I were with my love
I would live forever
Oh where has my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
He has gone across the sea
Gathering primroses
I'm afraid the shining sun
Might burn and scorch his beauty
And if I was with my love
I would do my duty
Strange news is come to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news cried up and down
That my love is married
I wish them both much joy
Though they can't hear me
And if I was with my love
I would do my duty
What did you promise me
When you lay 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
No, witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he reward you well
For the slighting of me
Her cheeks grew pale and wan
And her lips, her lips did tremble
For to think she had but one love
And he proved deceitful
For to think she had but one love
And he proved deceitful
