๐ Lyrics
The blacksmith courted me like knight in banter
He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
With his hammer and his heart, he looked so clever
And if I was with my love, I'd live forever
Oh, where is my love gone with his cheek like roses?
And his tooth like penny cock and eyes like primroses
I'm afraid the scourging sword will shine on for his beauty
And if I was with my love, I would do my duty
Strange news has come to town, strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
Oh, I wish them both much joy, though they don't hear me
May God reward him well for the slighting of me
What did you promise, love, when you sat beside me?
You said you'd marry me and not deny me
If I said I'd marry you, 'twas only for to try you
So bring your witness, love, I'll not ne'er deny you
For witness have I none save God Almighty
May He reward you well for the slighting of me
Her lips go pale and white and they all fore her tremble
To be the one she loved had proved deceitful
He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
With his hammer and his heart, he looked so clever
And if I was with my love, I'd live forever
Oh, where is my love gone with his cheek like roses?
And his tooth like penny cock and eyes like primroses
I'm afraid the scourging sword will shine on for his beauty
And if I was with my love, I would do my duty
Strange news has come to town, strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
Oh, I wish them both much joy, though they don't hear me
May God reward him well for the slighting of me
What did you promise, love, when you sat beside me?
You said you'd marry me and not deny me
If I said I'd marry you, 'twas only for to try you
So bring your witness, love, I'll not ne'er deny you
For witness have I none save God Almighty
May He reward you well for the slighting of me
Her lips go pale and white and they all fore her tremble
To be the one she loved had proved deceitful
