1
00:00:30,322 --> 00:00:37,308
A blacksmith courted me
nine months or better
2
00:00:37,392 --> 00:00:44,372
He fairly won my heart,
wrote me a letter
3
00:00:44,589 --> 00:00:51,487
With his hammer in his hand,
he looked quite clever
4
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:59,517
And if I was with my love,
I'd live forever
5
00:01:00,843 --> 00:01:07,680
But where is my love gone
with his cheeks like roses
6
00:01:07,773 --> 00:01:14,830
And his good black billycock on,
don't crowned with primroses?
7
00:01:15,121 --> 00:01:22,485
I'm afraid the scorching sun
will shine and burn his beauty
8
00:01:22,753 --> 00:01:29,750
And if I was with my love,
I'd do my duty
9
00:01:45,779 --> 00:01:52,976
Strange news has come to town,
strange news is carried
10
00:01:53,242 --> 00:02:00,090
Strange news flies up and down
that my love, he's married
11
00:02:00,307 --> 00:02:07,187
I wish them both much joy
though they can't hear me
12
00:02:07,354 --> 00:02:14,529
And may God reward them well
for the slighting of me
13
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:23,189
"Don't you remember well
when you lay beside me
14
00:02:23,505 --> 00:02:30,292
And you said you'd marry me
and not deny me?"
15
00:02:30,779 --> 00:02:38,234
"If I said I'd marry you,
it was only for to try you
16
00:02:38,401 --> 00:02:45,232
So bring your witness, love,
and I'll not deny you"
17
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:08,677
"Oh witness have I none,
save God Almighty
18
00:03:08,928 --> 00:03:15,675
And may He reward you well
for the slighting of me"
19
00:03:16,191 --> 00:03:23,356
Her lips grew pale and wan,
it made her poor heart tremble
20
00:03:23,738 --> 00:03:30,603
To think she loved a one
and he proved deceitful
21
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:07,988
A blacksmith courted me
nine months or better
22
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:14,806
He fairly won my heart,
wrote me a letter
23
00:04:15,184 --> 00:04:22,302
With his hammer in his hand,
he looked quite clever
24
00:04:22,584 --> 00:04:31,081
And if I was with my love,
I'd live forever
