C Blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
Cnd if I were with my love
I'd live forever
Oh where has my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
Cnd his good black billycock on
Decked around with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun
Will shine and burn his beauty
Cnd if I was with my love
I'd do my duty
Strange news has come to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down
That my love is married
I wish them both much joy
Though they cannot hear me
Cnd may God reward them well
For the slighting of me
Don't you remember when
You laid beside me
Cnd you said you'd marry me
Cnd not deny me
If I said I'd marry you
It was for only to try you
So bring your witness love
Cnd I'll not deny you
Oh witness have I none
Save God almighty
Cnd may he reward you well
For the slighting of me
Her face grew pale and wan
It made a poor heart tremble
To think she'd loved a one
Cnd he had proved deceitful

He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter

He looked quite clever
