《A Lusty Young Smith(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:02] A Lusty Young Smith - Ed McCurdy

[00:00:07] A lusty young smith at his vice stood a filing

[00:00:11] His hammer laid by but his forge still a glow

[00:00:15] When to him a buxom young damsel came smiling

[00:00:18] And asked if to work in her forge he would go

[00:00:22] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:00:25] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho

[00:00:37] I will said the smith and they went off together

[00:00:40] Along to the young damsel's forge they did go

[00:00:44] They stripped to go to it

[00:00:46] Was hot work and hot weather

[00:00:48] She kindled a fire and she soon made him blow

[00:00:52] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:00:55] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho

[00:01:06] Her husband she said no good work could afford her

[00:01:09] His strength and his tools were worn out long ago

[00:01:14] The smith said Well mine are in very good order

[00:01:17] And now I am ready my skill for to show

[00:01:21] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:01:24] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho

[00:01:36] Red hot grew his iron as both did desire

[00:01:39] And he was too wise not to strike while was so

[00:01:43] Quoth she What I get I get out of the fire

[00:01:47] Then prithee strike home and redouble the blow

[00:01:51] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:01:54] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho

[00:02:06] Six times did his iron by vigorous heating

[00:02:09] Grow soft in her forge in a minute or so

[00:02:13] And often was hardened still beating and beating

[00:02:16] But the more it was softened it hardened more slow

[00:02:21] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:02:24] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho

[00:02:35] The smith rose to go quoth the dame full of sorrow:

[00:02:38] Oh what would I give could my husband do so

[00:02:43] Good lad with your hammer come hither tomorrow

[00:02:46] But pray could you use it once more ere you go

[00:02:50] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle bang jingle

[00:02:53] With a jingle bang jingle bang jingle high ho
