[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.
[00:07.67] A blacksmith courted me
[00:11.18] Nine months and better
