Songtexte

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
I'd live forever
Oh, where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black billycock on
Decked round with primroses?
I hope the scorching sun
Won't shine and burn his beauty
And if I was with my love
I'd do my duty
Strange news is coming 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 can't hear me
And may God reward him well
For the slighting of me
Don't you remember when
You lay beside me
And 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 lips grew pale and wan
It made her poor heart tremble
To think she loved the one
And he 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
I'd live forever
