[Em] A blacksmith [D] _ courted me, [E] nine months a letter. _
[Em] He barely [D] won my heart, _
[E] wrote me a letter.
_ [D] With his hammer in [Em] his hand, he looked quite [D] clever.
[Em] And if I was with my [E] love, I'd live forever. _ _ _ _
_ [Em] But where is my [D] love gone, [E] with his cheeks like roses? _
[Em] And his good black billy [D] cap gone, [E] decked around with primroses?
[Em] I'm afraid the [E] scorching _ sun will shine and burn his [D] beauty.
[A]
[E] And if I was with [G] my [Em] love, I'd do my _ duty. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Strange [D] news has come to town, _ [E] strange news is carried.
_ [Em] Strange news flies [D] up and down, that [E] my love is married.
_ [D] I wish them [E] both much _ [Em] joy, though they [G] can't [D] hear me.
[Em] And may God [A] reward [G] him well, for the [E] _
slighting of me.
_ _ _ _ [Em]
Don't you _ [F#m] remember when [E]
you lay beside me?
[Em] And you said you'd [D] marry me, [E] and not deny me.
[Em] If I said I'd marry you, it was only for to [D] try [A] you.
[E] So bring your [G] witness, _ [E] love, and I'll not _ deny you. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ O witness, have [D] I none?
[Em] Save God _ Almighty, and may he [D] reward you _ well, [E] for the slighting of me.
[D] Her cheeks grew [E] pale and [Em] wan, it made her poor heart to [D] tremble.
[G] Two things she [A] loved [D] are [E] one, and he proved _ this. _ _ _ _
