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’d live forever.

‘Oh where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses?
He’s gone across the sea gathering primroses.
I’m afraid the scorching sun will burn his beauty,
And if I was with my love I’d do loves’ duty.

‘Strange news has come to town. Strange news is carried.
Strange news flies up and down, my love is married.
Well I wish them both much joy though they don’t hear me,
And may God reward him well for the slighting of me.

‘What did you promise when you sat beside me?
You said you would marry me and not deny me.”
“Well if I said I’d marry you, ‘twas for to try you.
So bring your witness love and I’ll not deny you.”

‘Oh witness have I none save God almighty,
And he’ll reward you well for the slighting of me.”
Her lips grew pale and wan, her heart did tremble,
For to think that she loved one and he proved deceitful.
