She looked out of the window as white as any milk |
|
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello, you coal blacksmith |
|
You have done me no harm |
|
You never shall have my maidenhead |
|
That I have kept so long |
|
I'd rather die a maid |
|
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave |
|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal blacksmith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a duck, a duck all on the stream |
|
And he became a water dog and fetched her back again |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith |
|
You have done me no harm |
|
You never shall have my maidenhead |
|
That I have kept so long, |
|
I'd rather die a maid |
|
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave |
|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal blacksmith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a star, a star all in the night |
|
And he became a thundercloud |
|
And muffled her out of sight |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith |
|
You have done me no harm |
|
You never shall have my maidenhead |
|
That I have kept so long, |
|
I'd rather die a maid |
|
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave |
|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal black smith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a rose, a rose all in the wood |
|
And he became a bumble bee |
|
And kissed her where she stood |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith |
|
You have done me no harm |
|
You never shall have my maidenhead |
|
That I have kept so long, |
|
I'd rather die a maid |
|
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave |
|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal blacksmith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white |
|
And he became a canting priest |
|
And prayed for her by night |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith |
|
You have done me no harm |
|
You never shall have my maidenhead |
|

|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal blacksmith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a trout, a trout all in the brook |
|
And he became a feathered fly |
|
And caught her with his hook |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith |

|
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky |
|
Coal blacksmith, a maiden, |
|
I will die |
|
She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground |
|
And he became the cold clay and smothered her all around |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith |
