The Lady and the Blacksmith
Once there was a ladyA lady in the landShe called out to the devil'Oh, you could be my man'She called out to the devil'But you must catch me if you can'He cried 'bide, lady, bideThere's no place you can hideFor the old blacksmith will be your manAnd he'll get you for his bride'Then she turned into a turtle doveShe flew through the airAnd he turned into a falconAnd he chased her everywhereThen she turned into a big brown hareShe flew across the landAnd he turned into a greyhoundCrying 'I will be your man'Then she turned into a bedspreadShe spread across the bedAnd he turned into a blanketAnd he stole her maidenheadLetras de cancionesSo come all you ladiesWhen you choose your manNever choose a devilFor he'll get you if he can'He'll cry 'bide, lady, bideFor there's no place you can hideFor the old blacksmith will be your manAnd he'll get you for his bride'
