about

Our take on the traditional tune.

lyrics

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
And his good black Billycock on Decked with primroses.
Im afraid the scorching sun Will burn and shine his beauty
And if I was with my love I’d 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 much joy Though they can't see me
And may God reward him well For the slighting of me.

Don't you remember when 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.

Inst verse

Oh witness have I none save God Almighty.
And may He reward you well for the slighting of me.
Her lips grew pale and wan, it made her poor heart tremble,
For to think she had loved one and he'd proved deceitful.

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 quite clever
And if I was with my love I would live forever.
