Lyrics

A blacksmith courted me
For nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
He wrote to me a letter
With his hammer up in his hand
He strikes so mighty and clever
And if I was with my love
I'd live forever
Oh, where has my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
He's gone across the fields
Gathering primroses
Oh, I fear the burning sun
Will scorch and spoil his beauty
And if I was with my love
I'd do love's duty
Strange news has come to town
Strange news is carried
Sad news flies up and down
My love is married
Still I wish him all love's joy
Though they're not for to hear me
I will never die for love
Love none relieve me
What's a promise you made to me
When you lay beside me
You promised you'd marry me
You only said it to deny me
Still I wish you all love's joy
Though you're not for to hear me
I will never die for love
Love one relieve me
