The Blacksmith
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 so clever And if I was with my love I would live forever.
But where is my love gone With his cheeks like roses And his good black Billycock on Decked around with primroses. I fear the shining sun May 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 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.

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 a poor heart tremble To think she loved a 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 so clever And if I was with my love I would live forever.
