The Blacksmith |
| A blacksmith courted me |
| For nine months or better |
| And when he’d won my heart |
| He wrote me a letter |
| With his hammer in his hand |
| He looked so clever |
| Were I with my love |
| I would live forever |
| That’s not what you promised me |
| When you did lie by me |
| You said you’d marry me |
| Never deny me |
| If I said I’d marry you |
| T’was only to try you |
| So bring your witness in |
| And I’ll not deny you |
| Witnesses have I none |
| But the Almighty |
| And He’ll surely punish you |
| For the slightin' of me |
| Looking in the glass |
| Makes my poor heart tremble |
| To think I loved a man |
| Who proved deceitful |
| My love’s across the fields |
| With cheeks like roses |
| My love’s across the fields |
| Seeking primroses |
| I fear the scorching sun |
| Will spoil his beauty |
| Were I with my love |
| He would do his duty |
| Strange news has come to me |
| Strange news is carried |
| And now it’s all the talk |
| My love has married |
| I wish them both much joy |
| Though they can’t hear me |
| But I never shall die for love |
| Young men believe me |
