\beginverse
|
|
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 so clever
|
|
And if I were with my love, I would live forever
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
Oh, where has my love gone with his cheeks like roses
|
|
He's gone across the sea gathering primroses
|
|
Will burn and scorch I fear the shining sun his beauty
|
|
And if I were with my love, I would do my duty
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
Strange news is come to town, strange news is carried
|
|
Sad 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 were with my love, I'd do my duty
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
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, 'twas only to try you
|
|
So bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
Oh, witness I have none, save God Almighty
|
|
And may he reward you well for the slighting of me
|
|
Her lips grew pale and wan; her heart did tremble
|
|
For to think she'd had one love, and he proved deceitful
|
