The Blacksmith
A blacksmith courted me, nine months or betterHe bravely won my heart, wrote me a letterWith his hammer in his hand, he looked quite cleverAnd if I was with my love, I'd live foreverBut where is my love gone, with his cheeks like rosesAnd his good black billycock on, all crowned with primrosesI'm afraid the scorching sun, will shine and burn his beautyAnd if I was with my love, I'd do my dutyStrange news has come to town, strange news is carriedStrange news flies up and down, that my love he's marriedI wish them both much joy though they can't hear meAnd may God reward them well for the slighting of meDon't you remember well, when you lay beside meAnd you said you'd marry me and not deny meIf I said I'd marry you, it was only for to try youBut bring your witness love, and I'll not deny youOh witness have I none, save God almightyAnd may he reward you well, for the slighting of meHer lips grew pale and wan, it made her poor heart trembleTo think she loved a one and he proved deceitful
