| 作词 : Traditional | |
| A blacksmith courted me nine months or better | |
| He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter | |
| With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever | |
| And if I were with my love I would live forever | |
| Oh where has my love gone with his cheeks like roses | |
| He is gone across the sea gathering primroses | |
| I'm afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty | |
| And if I were with my love I would do my duty | |
| Strange news is a-come to town, strange news is carried | |
| Strange news flies up and down that my love is married | |
| Oh I wish them both great joy, though they don't hear me | |
| And if I were with my love I would do my duty | |
| What did you promise me when you lay beside me | |
| You said you'd marry me and not deny me | |
| If I said I'd marry you twas only to try you | |
| So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you |
