《The Blacksmith》歌词

[00:00:31] O, a blacksmith courted me five months and better

[00:00:38] Ah, he fairly won my heart wrote me a letter;

[00:00:46] With his hammer in his hand he looked quite clever

[00:00:53] And if I were with my love I would live for ever

[00:01:02] O, where is my love now with his cheeks like roses

[00:01:09] And his big black billy-cock on, decked around with primroses?

[00:01:17] I'm afraid the scorching sun might burn and spoil his beauty

[00:01:25] And if I were with my love I would do my duty,

[00:01:40] Strange news is come to town;strange news is carried

[00:01:47] Strange news flies up and down that my love is married

[00:01:55] Well I wish them both much joy, though they can't hear me

[00:02:03] And may God reward them well for the slighting of me

[00:02:11] "Do you remember when you lay beside me

[00:02:18] And you said you'd marry me?Do not deny me."

[00:02:26] "If I said I'd marry you it was only for to try you:

[00:02:34] So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you."

[00:03:13] "Oh, witness have I none, save God almighty;

[00:03:28] And may he reward you well for the slighting of me."

[00:03:36] O, her cheeks grew pale and wan and it caused her heart to tremble

[00:03:44] To think she loved the one and he proved deceitful

[00:03:57] he proved deceitful

[00:04:06] and he proved deceitful

[00:04:09] O, a blacksmith courted me

[00:05:23] O, a blacksmith courted me five months

[00:05:33] Five months, five months
