Am G Em Am A blacksmith courted me, nine months and better Am G Em Am He fairly won my heart; he wrote me a letter C Em Am G With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever, Am Em C Am And if I were with my love, I would live forever. Am G Em Am "O, where is my love gone, with his cheeks like roses? Am G Em Am He is gone across the sea, gathering primroses C Em Am G I'm afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty, Am Em C Am And if I were with my love, I would do my duty. Am G Em Am "Strange news is a-come to town, strange news is a-carried, Am G Em Am Strange news flies up and down that my love is a-married C Em Am G O, I wish them both much joy, though they don't hear me Am Em C Am And if I were with my love, I would do my duty. Am G Em Am "O, what did you promise me when you lay beside me? Am G Em Am You said you'd marry me, and not deny me." C Em Am G "If I said I'd marry you, 'twas only to try you, Am Em C Am So bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you." Am G Em Am "O, witness have I none save God Almighty Am G Em Am And may He reward you well for the slighting of me." C Em Am G Her lips grew pale and wan; it made her poor heart tremble Am Em C Am For to think she had loved one, and he proved deceitful. Am G Em Am A blacksmith courted me, nine months and better Am G Em Am He fairly won my heart; he wrote me a letter C Em Am G With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever, Am Em C Am And if I were with my love, I would live forever.
