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
He's gone across the sea
Gathering primroses.
I fear the scorching sun
May shine and marr 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 great joy
Though they can't hear me
And may God repay you well
For the slighting of me.
Don't you remember well
You lay beside me
And you said you'd marry me
And not deny me.
If I said I'd marry you
It was only for to try you
So bring your witness love
And I'll not deny you.
Oh, witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he repay you well
For the slighting of me.
Her lips grew pale and wan
It made her cold heart tremble
To think she loved a one
And he proved unfaithful.
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.
