[00:07.67] | A blacksmith courted me |
[00:11.18] | Nine months and better |
[00:14.68] | He fairly won my heart |
[00:18.41] | Wrote me a letter. |
[00:21.68] | With his hammer in his hand |
[00:25.68] | He looked quite clever |
[00:29.26] | And if I was with my love |
[00:33.26] | I would live forever. |
[00:37.76] | But where is my love gone |
[00:41.26] | With his cheeks like roses |
[00:44.76] | And his good black Billycock on |
[00:48.48] | Decked around with primroses. |
[00:51.99] | I’m afraid the scorching sun |
[00:55.48] | Wlill shine and burn his beauty |
[00:59.72] | And if I was with my love |
[01:02.98] | I would do my duty. |
[01:13.75] | Strange news's come to town |
[01:17.23] | Strange news is carried |
[01:20.98] | Strange news flies up and down |
[01:24.73] | That my love is married. |
[01:27.98] | I wish them both much joy |
[01:31.99] | Though they can't hear me |
[01:35.25] | And may God reward him well |
[01:39.24] | For the slighting of me. |
[01:43.75] | Don't you remember when |
[01:47.24] | You lay beside me |
[01:50.72] | And you said you'd marry me |
[01:54.24] | And not deny me. |
[01:57.75] | If I said I'd marry you |
[02:01.73] | It was only for to try you |
[02:05.76] | So bring your witness love |
[02:09.00] | And I'll not deny you. |
[02:19.74] | Oh, witness have I none |
[02:23.64] | Save God Almighty |
[02:27.13] | And may he reward you well |
[02:30.40] | For the slighting of me. |
[02:34.13] | Her lips grew pale and wan |
[02:37.90] | It made her poor heart tremble |
[02:41.63] | To think she loved a one |
[02:45.66] | And he proved deceitful. |
